KCC In Uganda: LET'S GET YOU UP TO SPEED

Fred writes: Well we arrived on schedule, safely and without incident. The internet has been elusive up until now so let me update our status for you so far. We spent Sunday morning in Bulenga at Pastor Solomon's church. When I was here two years ago the building was raw brick with a very rough platform in front. It has since been plastered inside and out with mortar (that's considered a finished product here) and the platform has been finished. It felt completely different than before. He is also progressing on his new building that we helped with through our participation in Christ Followers For Change as well as having constructed a new office building for the school and reconstructed the kitchen and school store. They're about to put the roof on the two-story office portion of the new building and are working on getting one over the big room as well. They even extended the foundation and put a basement under the addition to use for rice storage.

We were on the road Monday, making several stops on the way to Nasuti (Heather sure has a lot of friends over here!). We delivered Bibles to Wakisa, a crisis pregnancy home and ran many errands. We stopped in Jinja for coffee with Tim Johnson (He's fine, Lori. Never looked better.) and then proceeded to The Way Home Africa where we will be spending most of our two weeks here. They just completed construction of a new on site guest house and it is going to be a wonderful place to get renewed each evening after spending the day dirt biking through the bush to visit the granny homes. "Guest houses" are a common thing here and can be anything from a hostel to a walled compound with private accommodations. The ones I have been in are something you pretty much just endure as part of the experience. This one is different and is really going to be a blessing. Tomorrow, it's to the bush!
