The team is winding down its time in Uganda with some fun activities before we board the KLM airplane on Tuesday night for our journey back to Texas. 8 members of the team today boarded two rafts for a white water rafting trip down the Nile River. I am happy to report that 8 members also were returned to Jinja Nile Resort safe and sound (I'm throwing in this last comment for those concerned moms and spouses there in Texas). Everyone had a great time and the talk around the dinner table tonight was all about the trip. The remaining 4 went to Bugugali Falls to allow Judy to dip her toe into the Nile(which she did) and to watch the 8 rafters come by us as they experienced their first Class 5 rapids of the day.
While the rafters were doing their thing, some of the team visited a children's home and clinic in Jinja to compare and learn from the operation of the home and clinic. It was a great afternoon and ended with the full team experiencing some awsome fellowship under a one of the many trees on the JNR complex. Aidah was able to share some of her life experiences in Uganda during the country's many brutal leaders before the current government was established (some 20 years ago). Aidah shared how God had protected her from harm those many years ago and how God is protecting this beautiful country now.
Tomorrow, we are going to be sleeping in and resting while we wait for the Tulsa and Wimberly teams to catch up with us here at JNR. We will all eat lunch together here at the resort and then make our way to Kampala to do some shopping before boarding our return flight home.
We are watching The Weather Channel on the web and see that a storm is brewing in the Gulf. We pray that as Jesus spoke to the wind, he will speak to this storm also and not allow this storm to cause damage in the Houston area.
We will see you soon.
Larry for the Uganda team
