To Jinja we go

Good morning all,

Jonah and I got to stay at a different hotel last night than the rest of the team. Africa changes all the time!! But we slept well and are ready for the day! I cannot wait to experience Jonah's first breakfast shortly!!

We will eat with Edward and Julie and then meet up with the rest of the team for devotionals and then we ate off! The plan today is to stop and exchange money, visit James at university (young man our family sponsors who is in college in Kampala) and then the 3 hour bus ride to Jinja. We will settle in the hotel and then go visit some widows groups that CYORF cares for. Should be a blessed day!!

Well nothing like getting the African experience started off first thing... Jonah got his first ride on a boda boda (motorcycle) from our hotel to the other to meet the team. (Sorry, Kysia, but he had a blast!!! And we were safe... though the driver took it slow for us!!)

We had a great devotional time as a team and we are heading to Jinja!

Later in Jinja…

James loved his World Cup t-shirt.

We then drove 3 hrs to Jinja and stopped for lunch and are now in our hotel and resting up. We plan tonight to visit with some widows and just share fellowship with them. It is a big deal when we come to see them. I love it as we just get a chance to let them know they are not forgotten. They are loved.

The drive to Jinja is a great view of the country... Beautiful and heart breaking...

Upon arrival we stopped at the Igar cafe and had some local food.... I think the new comers liked the chappati bread and matooke!!

More after our visit tonight. It is great to be back.
