Oh hello all!! We left for Uganda on Nov 23 and arrived in Busia on
the 25th, it was 50 hours of travel, 23 of which were in the air, oh
boy! It was good though and we have arrived safely. Busia is
beautiful, it is very green and quite rural. Walking around town
yesterday I was comforted by the friendly African faces I have missed so
much. It’s great to be back on this continent, it’s amazing how
different it is from Jeffreys Bay but it’s great to be here.

We are a mere 30 degrees from the equator, and I am already quite
“sun kissed” haha! Time to slather on the SPF holla back! One of the
first things we did when we arrived here was got bikes for the team,
that’s how everyone gets around here. We live right near a village and
close to there is town that is lively with market stands for fruits, vegetables, fish and other meats. I am learning a great deal about the
culture here in Uganda and am excited to learn more. Okay: NEWS FLASH!
I had my first squatty pottie experience! For those of you that don’t
know what that is, it’s a hole in the ground used as a bathroom, just
think Slum dog Millionaire 🙂 All I have to say is between the biking and
squatting we are all going to have some sweet let muscles! BAHAHA!

The team is doing really well, we are still getting rested and
recovering from jet-lag but all is well. We have started learning some
songs in Swahili that we will use along with testimonies and dramas to
minister to local church plants here in Busia as well as some in the
bush areas. We are working with a ministry called Helping Hands
Ministries, they planted the churches and we will be assisting them in
some future church plants.

That’s a bit about what we are up to, I love you all so much and
miss you! I don’t think I will be able to receive mail so feel free to
send me e-mails at [email protected] or comment on here.
