Great Friends

I keep telling you that so many things go on in a day that I can’t remember to tell you everything. We had an earthquake 9 days ago. It was a 5.9 magnitude quake centered in Tanzania. The area where it occurred has reported 19 deaths and at least 40 injured. The property damage was also significant with 1044 homes destroyed and 6281 more damaged. Please pray for those families that have been affected by this quake. In Kampala, we certainly felt the tremor, but there were no injuries or property damage.

As most of you know, this is my first time back since our 10 month stint in 2013. Greg has been back for a month each year, 2014 and 2015, and has come home exhausted each time. Now that I am here with him, I can see why. Each day is jam packed starting at just after 6 AM and ending sometime between 9:30 and 11:00 PM- depending how long we can keep our eyes open. This week our days are filled with work and our evenings are full of catching up with dear friends. Our next available time slot is a week from today. How blessed are we to have so many dear friends.

Today I got to meet Phina,, Ed’s wife. They came to our hotel and spent the evening with us. She is a lovely person, just as I knew she would be. And by the way, we are getting another grandbaby!

Tomorrow we get to meet our 2 month old grandson, Darren. Another great day coming up!
