Happy Birthday Greg


Well, it is September 30 in Uganda already, so Happy Birthday to my hubby. Our day has started out like all the others, up early to gobble down breakfast and get on the road by 6:45 AM to miss the traffic.
Greg’s day will look like this: we have a meeting with the communications department at 9AM, then he and Ed are going shopping at an electrical wholesaler and heading over to the Watoto East campus to do an evaluation there.
Tonight we are having supper with our dear friend Joanna. All of her kids have gone back to school (all except two are at boarding school so they will be there until December). We will enjoy a nice meal together and spend some time catching up with her.
On this blog, I mostly just tell you the good things that happen, but we have had some frustrations this trip as well. One of the big frustrations has been with our phones! We paid a pretty good sum of money in Canada to get them unlocked and there was nothing but frustration after we got here. Eventually, we got one of them to work, sort of. We could send and receive texts and we could receive calls, but we couldn’t make calls. After much work by our phone technician Grace, it worked for a couple of days and then something else would be wrong. One day this was the message on our phone:


 To save you all the math, that is about 17,065 days or 46 3/4 years! Fortunately, it decided to work again a little sooner than that!
Now we just pray and thank God every day that it works.
