We're Here in Uganda!

After a couple of minor delays we made in to Uganda about 10:30pm.  As we were getting ready to leave Amsterdam we were told that the Greek airspace was closed and we would have to reroute through Turkish airspace, which required us to add enough fuel for the additional length.  After that all went well with a very smooth flight for the most part.

What we've seen so far of Uganda is beautiful, especially the people who have been very friendly and helpful.  We're in for a big day today.  We're off to Jinja to see Cathy Vaughn at Redeemer House to pick up our meds and see all of the kids.  We are very excited!

Before we do that we get to negotiate  Kampala traffic.  That should be like Toads Wild ride.  Can't wait.

Everyone is doing well and sends there love to everyone back home.  We all appreciate your prayers.

Got to go get ready for the bus.

Love from Uganda

New from PDX

We've made it as far as Portland with no major problems so far.  Just a minor delay as we were coming into PDX the pilot announced that the airport was shutdown because of fog.  Our prayers were answered and within about 10 minutes we were back on track.  We're just waiting for our flight now.

Next update will hopefully be from Amsterdam.

BioSand Filter

Pray that we can find the time and materials to build a couple of BioSand filters while we are in Kaplobotwo. They are in need of both latrines and a source of clean drinking water. It is our mission to see that these needs are met.
