We are in Kampala. We had a meeting with the bishop of the East African Methodist conference to thank us for our visit to Gulu. What a wonderful meeting. The bishop had also been told our work in Jinja and thanked us for our service there. He is appreciative because he is from Jinja district. He does not Edward or Cyorf but asked for his info so he could contact Edward and see if there is a way for CYORF and His Mercy church to partner with the East African Methodist conference. How cool is that? God is always working! Bishop Daniel Wandabula is a kind and joyful and passionate man of faith. He is in charge of the Methodist churches in Uganda, Kenya, Burundi, Rwanda, and Sudan. What a charge. Yet he stays faithful and encouraging and working. He thanked us for our visits and all we have done to help the church and the people of Uganda. He was so excited to see Jonah and encouraged more young people to come and I agree! No fear sending parents and their kids. Jonah's perspective of the world will never be the same. I would ask that you consider coming and letting your kids come.

On the way we stopped at a road side stand and got chappati and stick meat! This was the first stick meat in 4 years and I am wondering why we waited so long! It was grilled beef on a bamboo skewer and was AMAZING! We plan to get it again on the way to Jinja! Granted everything works out tonight and tomorrow.

We got to see the chicken project again. All is ready to go and they are waiting on the 300 chicks to arrive. Once this is up and running 15 widows and their familes with sustaining income and food. What a great project God has blessed this community. Sustainable income and food for families. How great.

We are eating dinner now and then off to get sleep.

Today has been a good day... we have arrived safely... enjoyed stick meat.... and met the Bishop. Good day.

Tomorrow we attempt to conquer the River Nile!!

Good night!! Keep up the prayers.

In Christ,
