Greetings from Kasese on Wednesday evening! As I am writing this it is around 9:00 pm and we have just finished eating supper. The days are long, but they are good. The men's conference is going very well. Jon and Zac are each teaching their sections during the morning portion of the conference and Scott and I are teaching in the afternoon. We are amazed daily how the Lord has put on our hearts what these people needed to hear. Even though two of the men live in California and the other two live in Mississippi and Alabama, it seems like we have prepared our sections together. We are constantly seeing how what one may be talking about, the other will pick up on it in their own section. It is exciting teaching these people because they have a desire to do what they learn. They are very receptive to what they have heard so far. Thank you for your prayers and keep 'em coming!
The women's portion of the conference has been going well. They may have more in attendance than the men do! The men walk over to where the women's conference is being held to have lunch together. Usually, when we get there, the women are still meeting in their small groups. They are having very meaningful discussions and the women are growing. Keep praying for them!
The weather here has been great. It has been relatively cool our entire time here. It is the rainy season here in Uganda and the showers have cooled the temperatures. For this, we have been grateful. It's different not preaching or teaching in an air conditioned room! Also, we have not had a big problem with any bugs or mosquitoes. But I hear Jaclyn had a run-in with a giant grasshopper.
We have had a difficult time getting on the Internet here. I realize I told Causeyville I would be blogging often and I have not. It's not our fault! We have been having Internet issues which have not allowed us to get on as often as we would like. I am told that we will have a better opportunity to get on when we travel to Jinja (sp?) this weekend. Continue praying for us.
I will try and post again soon!
Ryan
