The second half of our team arrived safely in Uganda late Thursday night. Doug, Anya, Leisha, Dana and I (Erin) have all adjusted fairly quickly to the time change, and we are enjoying our brief stay in Kampala. During our layover in Nairobi, we were able to meet up with Nate and Josh who were on their way back home. It was great to see them and to hear about their experiences traveling through northern Uganda and southern Sudan.



Between riding Boda-bodas around town, we have met with Susan Tabia and Ezbon Wudu, our partners from IWASSRU who work in Uganda and Sudan. Susan keeps eight orphans in her home in Kampala. Most are children whose parents have died from AIDS, so she keeps them with her while they wait to be tested. Meri was able to complete sponsorship profiles on those children, and we enjoyed a delicious meal of “complicated meat” (meatballs) and vegetables.

We will head to Eldoret, Kenya tomorrow morning. Please continue to pray for us as we learn from the partners, experience the culture, and strengthen relationships with our friends here.
