Finally in Africa

We’re here. After many long months and years of preparation we’re finally here. 😀 A week ago yesterday we loaded our container and it shipped. Monday morning we drove up to Chicago and then flew out of O’Hare International Airport. Tuesday night we arrived in Entebbe, Uganda at about 11 PM. We were worn out from not sleeping on the plane but we were here. All our luggage made it there with us and in one piece. Praise God! We got our visitor’s visas and then got our luggage and then met Matt Stensaas. He had arranged for a driver to take our luggage to Mbarara and then he took us to a hotel in Kampala. We got there about 2 AM.

Early Wednesday morning we got up and got going. We went to Uchumi’s to look at appliances (you say that “you chew me”), picked up some groceries and some lunch and then drove to Mbarara.

The last couple days have been busy, especially for James. He’s been to class at the Bible Institute here. We also went around and found a house. It isn’t finished but it will be nice when it is. Then he has been going around pulling things together for that house – like mattresses to sleep on until the container comes and other things. He is off again to meet a man to look at a vehicle and is going to look at gates until he hears from him. Great times!

I’ll be glad to get into “our” house and be able to unpack a little. That will be nice. 😀 I found almost all the school books but can’t find the math books. Hopefully I can find them before we need to do school on Monday.
