Keep on keepin' on


Hi All
I’ve been falling down on the job the last couple of days and not posting anything. Sorry about that.
It is Wednesday morning here now and the last couple of days have been exhausting. We are in “beyond full on” mode now to try to get everything done before we leave in a week. Everything is starting to catch up with us- not sleeping in our own bed, no down time, eating out every meal and very different food from what we are accustomed to. Our tummies have their good days and bad days- enough said about that!
The last couple of days have been very busy, but nothing very exciting to tell you about. Just working hard, gathering the things that we will be taking home with us.
Yesterday the traffic was crazy- the kids are back in school and it rained. Those are two things that make the jam even worse. I’m not sure how far it is to our hotel, but I will say it’s about 4 kms. Yesterday after work, it took us AN HOUR AND A HALF to get to our hotel. I really miss my country bumpkinville and the lack of traffic there! Even with the constant summer road construction, it is never this bad. That really is the most stressful thing for us here. For all of our Ugandan family, it is normal and I think they get tired of us whining about it, but driving here really is the most difficult and draining part of the trip.
Today Greg and all the guys will be out of the office so I will try to type up some more reports. I am doing the reports based on Greg’s voice recordings and the photos he took. If you know my husband…that isn’t the simplest assignment in the world! We all have our strengths- he knows his stuff with electrical and refrigeration, he loves this team with all his heart and is great at teaching them, but organizing reports, well…
Keep praying for us. We are tired, but we want to finish well.
