Friends

Finally found a coffee shop with decent internet so I could post this! 

Well, here we are…Saturday afternoon on our last weekend here. It seems that there is still much work to be done and we are working hard to get it done. There is still also visiting that needs to be done and we are keeping busy with that.  What a busy and amazing time it has been.

As I am typing this, Greg is completing another of the campus evaluations, while I sit under the shade of a mango tree and type this to you. Next we are off to see our dear friends Randy and Judy. It is Prossie’s birthday today so we will be celebrating her and Greg while we are visiting there. I will be back later to tell you all about it.

Later…we had an amazing visit with Randy and Judy.

When we arrived, some of Judy’s family members were there. Judy’s sister Darlene and her husband, Dave lived in South Sudan for many years (I’m not sure how many). They had a school there and ministered to many people, staff students, families. I’m sorry, I don’t know enough about their ministry to tell you details about it, but what I want to tell you is that the situation in South Sudan is awful. Most of their ministry staff have fled to Uganda so they were able to connect with some of them on this trip back. Dave and Darlene are currently living in the US. Please pray for South Sudan, things are really bad there.

During our visit, we heard about the incredible work Randy and Judy are doing in northern Uganda. They are working on a farming project there and it is so very interesting to hear about all that is going on. Unfortunately, we didn’t get to the farm on this trip, but next trip we will definitely have to go and check it out!

There are so many opportunities to serve the people of Uganda and to be Jesus to them. Sometimes our focus is WAY too narrow. Randy and Judy are assisting so many Ugandan families while they live out lives of being who God has called them to be. It is always such a joy and an encouragement to sit and talk with them about how God is working. We are so blessed to know this couple.
