Weekend Update

So all is well here in beautiful sunny Oditel, Uganda. We had a wonderful afternoon rain-shower and everything is green and dripping wet, which is great news for the garden.

I went and checked on the garden this morning and was happy with what i found. The Orange trees looked as though they were trying to adjust to their new homes and i'm sure this afternoon's rain really helped them out. I dug up a ground nut seed and was very happy to see that it had already germinated and was starting to put out a stem and roots. :)

Everything else here is going very well. There are so many needs that at times it can overwhelm you if you let the feeling get to you. Luke and I are doing very well however and are staying focused on the goals we came to complete on this trip. It's definitely not fun to tell people that you are sorry but you wont be able to meet a certain need they have while you are here. But that is the reality of Africa i guess. There are SO many needs that you have to decifer where God is leading you to serve and provide and trust that the areas you work toward will provide the greatest help and benefit to the people.

On a lighter note...our british airways flight from Entebbe to London was cancelled yesterday; apparently they are having some sort of strike and don't want to fly the plane down here. No sweat though because they booked us on a Kenya Airways flight back to London by way of Nairobi, Kenya and our London to Chicago flight is still scheduled to take place. Sooooo...turns out we get to spend 12 more hours in Uganda but we wont be spending 24 hours in London on the way home which is kinda a bummer because i was really looking forward to that. Oh well, at least we should have time to get outside and get our passports stamped in Kenya and the UK.

Hope everyone stateside is enjoying the weekend.

Suffer for Others,

Adam
