This is going to be short as it is getting late and I need to get to bed, but I know how much I looked forward to Josh blogging and how bummed I was when nothing appeared for a number of days, so I thought at least I would post something.
Our days are busy, that's for sure. I'll try to post more in detail tomorrow. I think we'll be home in the afternoon and evening and may have some time then.
We spent the day yesterday with former child soldiers at a sports tournament. It was a long, hot, dusty, dirty day, but wonderful! We were able to hear some of their stories and realize how blessed we are, yet they are able to go on, believing God has a plan for their lives. It is wonderful to talk with those who have a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ and hear the hope they have.
Ugandan food is very different from ours, but also very good...at least most things. The hair still on some of the pork and the fish served whole, bones, tail, head and all has messed with Jake a little, but he has been really good about trying it all and for the most part we all like it.
The roads are BAD! I know I've said it before, but truly, they are the pits. I've taken to keeping motion sickness pills on me at all times because you never know when your going to need them. The ride to the sports tournament was 1.5 to 2 hours each way and on the way back, there were vehicles blocking the road and we had to go a different route, turning around after a while because we had gone the wrong way. The drive home was endless. Huge potholes, rough roads...no, paths really. It was dark for a good share of the way. I was VERY glad to see our house after 2.5 hours.
Tomorrow we are headed out for the morning with Josh Shaarda, one of the missionaries to hear him teach. Looking forward to that. We will be served a Ugandan breakfast and lunch I think, so that should be fun.
Off to bed. Hope to post more tomorrow and pictures too.
Thanks for the prayers. Bob is feeling better today and our whole family was able to get out and about today so that was a definite answer to prayer. Please keep praying for good health.
Blessings,
Julie
