The BIG City shopping experience!

Jan 9, 2017

Hello friends and family!  We made it to Uganda and our entry into the country and through customs was great! Just a few tubs got emptied on the tarmack and luggage belt but we got it all! Yeah!  Team is doing great! We settled into a hot hot summer nap around 1 am at Lake Victoria View Guesthouse and was up promptly at 7:30 am for this lovely breakfast and team gathering to go over our plans for the day.  Plans which included shopping for....yes fabric!  More lovely colors!  Two treadle sewing machines to bless Palabek village in the remote north with, esp since we have some craft trainers, led by Brenda and Ranae (who is with us in spirit) on the team! Woo hoo!  We met Terence at the hotel with our other city driver his nephew Isaac and Tom went off on drip irrigation part quest with Bosco. Yes the huge city of Kampala is bustling and once again we traipse through it with our trusty guides, loyal and dedicated Denis and Bosco T.  Moving to its beat and pulse of the Ugandan people. I love love this!! So alive!  No we did not ride these boda boda's (motorcycles) that weave and halt on a dime - always seemingly barely avoiding a massive wreck!  Haha!  I was nearly knocked off once so safety it is.  We are in great hands with our amazing forward thinking Ugandan escorts who have everything in mine better than anything I could have planned!  We acclimate tonight, rest, have a board meeting with our Ugandan mentor and legal advisor, then on the way to the purposes of our journey! First stop Family Empowerment - Canaan Farm!  All aboard!  Come along...you are in for an amazing ride and treat with this awesome on the ground team!!

Thank you for the love and prayers and following along. We thank God for all, keeping us in the palm of His hands, guiding all things. We are humbled and grateful!
