We are here, safe and sound. We flew out of Dubai around 9am and arrived at Entebbe a little after 3pm. Pastor Stephen, wife Grace, and daughter Faith were at the airport to take us on the long bus ride to Kasese. After 8 hours in the bus, we were estatic to pull Rwenzori International Hotel shortly after 11pm local time. Chicken and "chips" (fries) were served, then it was time to crash.
We are definitely in Africa. Poor John and Zac had to battle spiders right from the get-go. They and the Harrells had a surprise guest (gecko). The Moores found out that their shower was not functioning properly. And Ashley and I were oblivious to anything creepy crawly in our room. I will admit, I was having serious doubts about the whole thing when I went to bed last night. But that all went away when I woke up to the sound of multiple birds... Straight out of the Jungle Book. God has so pumped this place full of beautiful sights and sounds and taste. The fresh pineapple here is amazing!
We will be headed out to go on a safari after Pastor Stephen arrives. Please continue to pray for us... For safety and rest and that God will use us for His glory, not ours.
I think God may want John to get over his fear of spiders...praying God's will be done, and His Glory be seen by all you come in contact with. Say hello to Scott and Susan and hugs for John!
ReplyDeleteI never thought to ask Zac if he was afraid of creepy crawlers. I hope it didn't give them too much of a scare. God conquers all fears for the glory of his kingdom though =)
