March 16 – Arrival Anniversary

Yes, a year…and what a year. We kept saying we had not made it a month, or 4 months or 9 months !!!! But we did it…12 months…...we arrived in Kampala March 16, 2005. Truly it is hard to believe. It has been such a year of challenges and joys and culture and language learning but it did not kill us. We are grateful for this opportunity and count it an honor to serve our Lord here. He was gracious to us to bring us to such warm and loving people and we have learned so much from them…especially their attitudes in the midst of poverty and lack of the things we think it takes to make you happy. They are the happiest people I know and their love and worship of God blesses and challenges us each day. Thank you for your perpetual love and support of us in this and we are ever so grateful to those who lift us up to the Father daily.
