MISSION: Uganda Blog Update 12-06-2006

We're back in the 21st century again around here. Thanks for praying for us. A fleet of linemen showed up shortly after dark on Monday evening, and had our power back on in a couple hours. Internet connectivity was restored last night, so that's why you're getting an update just now.

It was a very cold couple of days. We all bundled up to stay warm. We sealed up the house, burned candles, and boiled water to add heat to the mix. On Sunday, a church member let us borrow their propane-fueled catalytic heater, which was a HUGE help. It was still dark, but at least we were warm. Needless to say, we were quite happy to get our power back on Monday. As far as I know, none of the over 4,000 linemen who labored tirelessly to restore power were hurt, which is an answer to prayer.

Thanks again for praying for us!
