Guests


We have our first overnight guests. Greg’s brother, Mike and his wife, Tanya arrived last night. After about 27 hours of travel, they arrived here on time with all their luggage- we are very thankful for that.
Their plane arrived at 10:15 PM and then of course we stayed up visiting so we didn’t get to bed until 1:00 AM. It was a short night when the alarm went off at 5:30 this morning.
We told Mike and Tanya they should stay at the apartment today and get some sleep. However, they are at that stage in exhaustion and jet lag where their bodies can’t figure out when it is time to sleep, eat, etc. So by noon, Mike was out working with Greg and getting a taste of traffic in Kampala. Tanya did manage to get a nap or two in before Lorenda got home and dragged her outside for a walk around the neighbourhood.
After supper and a short drive around our area of the city, Mike was done and crashed to bed by 7:30. Tanya fared a little better and managed to make it until 8:00. It was just two short months ago when we were going through that craziness. Waking up at 3:30 AM, wanting to fall asleep mid-afternoon and struggling to stay awake until 8:00. It really is an awful feeling! Please pray that they will get over the jet lag and get their bodies adjusted to life on this side of the planet in the very near future.
