I have just a short time on the Internet so will quickly update you on where I am and what I’m doing. We are now on month eight in Uganda. We started the month off by whitewater rafting on the Nile River. That was awesome! I’ll try to get some photos up when I have more time. For now, I’ll tell you about our
ministry. All the teams on our squad plus N squad are working
with the Anglican Church of Uganda. Right now we are all separated
around the country to work with different churches, but at the end of
the month we will meet back together in Kampala to help with a youth
conference hosting students from all over Africa.
My team is in the city of Lira, which
is in the north central part of Uganda. We just arrived yesterday so
haven’t yet begun with ministry. From what they tell us, we will be
traveling to different cities in the region and doing outdoor
crusades, street preaching, teaching and visiting of prisons and
schools. It sounds like we will have a busy few weeks here, but we
are excited.
So far, Uganda has been great. They
speak more English here than in Kenya or Tanzania. It’s kind of
disappointing since we were finally getting better at Kiswahili.
However, they have many other tribal languages. Where we are they
speak Lango (I think?).
Once again we have a nice place to
stay. We have a small house to ourselves. All five of us girls sleep
here, while the boys have a room in another house nearby. It’s really
refreshing since we are a few miles outside of town. It feels like
we’re in the country – so peaceful! We are thanking the Lord for a
quiet place to stay.
I’ll try to post some pictures and let you know more soon!
