Thanksgiving in Uganda

Are we sorry that we decided to follow up on that announcement in the church bulletin? No way!
I asked Sam that question a few days ago. With a big smile he said, "No way! This sure beats Marysville, especially at this time of year."

Certainly, there are problems and frustrations when one embarks on an adventure of this kind but with prayer, patience and goodwill they can be over come. There are so many new and exciting experiences to offset the down times. Time and again I ask the Lord, "Is this why you had me come?" (I'll write about some of those in another post.)

We arrived at Entebbe airport on Friday, Oct. 23 at 6:30 am and, O wonders, so did all of our luggage. "Thank You, Lord." Such things never cease to amaze me. There was a large and excited crowd waiting at the gate. One young man was so excited that he ran and gave me a big hug before he realized I was the wrong person. Funny!

Soon we saw the familiar sign of the Christian Reformed World Relief Committee (CRWRC) Three gentlemen from that agency came to welcome us to Uganda and take us and all our stuff to their office in Kampala. We were amazed at how they got all our belongings into and on top of one medium sized SUV.
