What a day! Heavily packed with joy and tears. It began this morning as Hannah and I were picked up by World Vision and set out to meet our sponsored child Zakalyia. Our driver had to make a stop and pick up his tire that he replaced while on his way to pick us up. [...]
Amazingly the week at Faith Quest Uganda has passed. The week started in heavy rain… mud… mud… and more mud. Vehicles stuck. Huts incomplete for campers. Water source non existent… Toilets defiled… Yet, God was there in the midst of this insanity. By the start of Faith Quest we were at our end, which is [...]
This has been a wonderful week. We can hardly believe the time has flown by. The kids have wonderful spirits and their songs are amazing. Glory to God. We will clean up as soon as possible tomorrow and return to Fort Portal. We look forward to showers and toilets. Jesus, bless the youth of Uganda [...]
Well, our first full day at camp is going well. We’ve readjusted the schedule several times… it’s an African thing. The teens are singing and praising God even though we’ve been rained on and mud is covering the landscape. African mud clumps to your shoes and you grow in hight and gain about 10 pounds… [...]

Sorry about not giving you an updates. The data package that Verizon said would be available on my phone is not available in Fort Portal. I spent several minutes typing on my tiny phones keyboard only to find out that I couldn’t send the message. Very frustrating, but… Welcome to Uganda. Anywho, It was a [...]
What an exhausting day. Of course we landed in Entebbe and found that Hannah’s personal trunk was missing. Off to the market place to try and buy those items we knew would be her American comfort food. We ate lunch and as Ugandan time means nothing, we left for Ft Portal around 2 pm. As [...]
We've got our "Orange" wireless internet up and going. We will be posting our updates from the past few days. Thanks everyone for your prayers and patience. BTW, we got a call from the airport and Hannah's trunk is at the airport. We're hoping Doug and Desiny, missionaries here in Fort Portal, can pick it [...]
