Day 1, Uganda


We are here in Uganda safe and sound. We got to our "Hut" about 1:00am their time, so we are trying to convert to their time. Our first leg to London was 8 hours, we sat at the airport for 4 hours and our next leg to Uganda was 8 hours! A lot of sitting for our team!

Dongo and his sweet wife Florence met us at the airport and are picking us up in the morning at 9:30 to start our day at the Primary school. We are so excited to see the kids and take them lots of toothbrushes, Scripture memory cards, and lots of letters from sponsors. We will be taking class pictures for them. Last year was our first year to help them document their classes and classmates. We printed and bound them together and made a book for the entire school, it will be so fun seeing them crowd together and saying "JESUS" for the camera.

It is warm here, quite a change from Texas. Pray for our day tomorrow and for us to be able to meet many new kids and encourage staff. Please pray for our whole team by name over the next 10 days! We believe God is going to great things and we believe in the power of prayer and so thankful for everyone who is "Standing in the Gap" praying for our safety, health, spiritual growth, and blessing we can be while we're here.
