Spent the morning at devotions, packing and shopping for supplies. Liz led devotions and picked “Jesus and Food”
as her topic. 3 of Jesus’ miracles
involved food, He used meals as teaching opportunities, His last time with His
disciples was over a meal, He proved His physical resurrection with food and we
will all one day feast with Him at the marriage supper of the Lamb.
Thank you for your prayers.
We made it safely to Karamoja.
There were truck size ‘pot holes’ but very little water in them. Ten days ago they were filled with as much
as 4 feet of water and the road was impassable at times. The drive was very pretty but Andy was
tortured by not being able to stop and identify all the bird life we saw in
passing! We even arrived just before
dark. We have left the land of flush
toilets, hot showers and electricity. We
have a ‘squatty potty’ (alias pit toilet), took a refreshing lukewarm ‘cup
shower’ tonight and lighting is kerosene lanterns. It was great to wash all the dust from the
drive off. There is no AC in the cars
here so we drive on dirt roads with all the windows down in the heat of the
days.
Dr. Val stayed behind in Soroti to finish some paperwork
there then she is going to Kenya
to get vehicle parts. She will be
joining us here on Sunday. Our new team
consists of Julie, Andy and Liz. Melissa
had to leave for a chicken project and Daniel and Rachel are living in Soroti.
Prayer Requests:
-
That we would function well with her absent and the
other CLIDE members would be successful at organizing work for is.
