Arrived in Gulu......
The rest of our team arrived from the United States on Friday night with only a few bags missing. Nancy & I along with the awesome coaches did a short orientation and our tired teammates could not get themselves fast enough. We boarded our buses and twenty of us had the ride of our life traveling to Gulu, 6hours north of Kampala. We saw the mouth of the River Nile and were able to stop and get some pictures of the rushing river along with the baboons in the middle of the highway there. Everyone had their cameras out and we were able to get some great photos. We finally arrived in Gulu and refueled on a few snacks and water before beginning our team orientation. Our team leaders Jill and Richard led us in a wonderful information session and we enjoyed a great dinner and time of fellowship with our team. Tomorrow is a big day of worship with our team visiting three different church services before we head to the farm to begin organizing our wheelchair effort for opening ceremonies on Monday. we head to bed early as we have a long day of work ahead of us tomorrow. Thank you for your continued prayers.

It sounds like you had an awesome time getting to Gulu! I can just imagine! I have heard stories about the buses in Africa! How awesome to see the Nile River in person! I have only seen it on a video. Keeping you and Nancy and the whole team in my prayers each day! I can't wait to see your pictures when you get back!
ReplyDeleteIt would have been great to see video of all of you in the bus on the way to Gulu. I hope your day of Sunday worship and visitation to the three churches was met with great enthusiasm and acceptance. Will you be writing about Monday's opening ceremonies? Can't wait to hear about the whole trip. Blessings and continued prayers!
