Happy New Year from Uganda!
We made it! The trip went great, even though we only got like 2 hours of sleep in two days! We flew overnight 9 1/2 hours to Amsterdam and then spent 8 hours in Amsterdam by taking a train into Amsterdam Central and walking around the city and got coffee at the Youth With a Mission book store/ cafe. Then another overnight flight of 8 hours to Nairobi, Kenya then a short one hour flight to Entebbe, Uganda where my friends picked us up (we got all our luggage!) and we drove to Kampala and spent the night at the MAF (mission aviation fellowship) guest house. I was so tired that night I could hardly keep my eyes open at dinner. Today we drove two hours to Jinja where we'll be staying till the 7th at this nice resort over looking the Nile river (there's little Geccos crawling around our room!). Sara and I will be watching/ entertaining- with the help of the pool! six kids, while their parents are in meetings. Its been really warm (high eighties) durring the day and a little cooler at night. We are 8 hours ahead of Chicago time. Thanks for praying! Happy New Year!

Hi Ann & Sara -
So glad things are going well for you. It's in the eighties here as well (except that's inside with the furnace running full blast).
Keep the great news coming.

HI ANN and SARA,
Your dad wrote that comment about the heat...you probably guessed that because there was no
:-) at the end! This is ME now...
Such wonderful NEWS that HE guided
you safely. My prayers are with you always, but especially now that you are faced with Border problems on your return trip.
Remember . . . "The Lord is my
strength and my song" Exodus 15:2
Relax and enjoy your new adventures
monkeys and rats included. I remember monkeys in trees in Thailand - such a weird experience.
We all miss you, but know that you both are following God's path..... Peace and Joy be with you as you venture on.
Love,
Grandma C :-)
