The flight to Entebbe from Amsterdam was delayed two hours and Eric and Robyn were already in Entebbe to greet us. At the airport also to greet us were Pastor Hillary, Shake and Bake Bobby and Matea. Pastor Wilbur was returning from the US and met us in Amsterdam.
Gene, Mikhaila and I made it to Tororo last night in one piece and were very tired after a 10 hour ride which is normally 5hrs. We were stopped by the police 3 or 4 timesa and was instructed to buy 2 new tires. The bridge dam at Jinga was shut down to one lane and sometimes every lane was shut for road works. The traffic was worse the LA freeways at peak hour. One pick up next to us had a dead body laying in the back with others people (live ones) sitting around the edge of the truck bed.
Eric and Robyn went to Fort Portal to visit orphanges, a farm and to go on safari with the rest of the team. They will arrive in Tororo Saturday evening.
Today we met with Pastor Aggrey discussing the men's ministry. We will be visiting 5 different churches in 4 different areas to talk to the men. They are expecting up to 1000 men to attend.
We also met with Pastor Eric from Tororo hospital outreach. He shared with us the great things that God has been doing with his visitation team, and that he's looking forward to taking us to the hospital and -- and if all works out -- into a local prison.
We also visited True Vine. Three new classrooms have been built since last November and another dorm is under construction.
I visited very briefly with Caroline and Filish (2 of Seasides sponsored children) in the dorms. The are healthy and appear all happy. The new kitchen and dining room for the children is great. Now the children do not need to eat outside.
