Day 1 in Uganda

April 12, 2012

We landed yesterday at 7am. Worship, Pastor Dongo’s daughter, picked us up at the airport. We went to the hotel, cleaned up, unpacked a bit and then Pastor Dongo picked us up. We headed over to the God Cares Primary School. The kids were on lunch break and as we exited the car a small “riot” ensued. They surrounded us and loved on us.

We got to help serve lunch from the current kitchen and got to walk through the new kitchen under construction. In the pictures you can see Lesli and the kids serving the 800+ kids their lunch.

We took a tour of the school and met staff and students. As you can see in the pics, our kids fell in love with the children.

Also, attached are photos of Pastor and Mrs (Florence) Dongo with Lesli and me.

Today we will be visiting the God Cares High School and all of us will be helping lead in the chapel there.

Enjoy the pics. Pray for Lesli. The Malaria pills make her very sick. Lesli gets sick to her stomach for about 2 hours after taking them. Unusual for her, she is usually the one who never gets sick. Megan and Katie have also been a bit sick after taking the malaria pills.

(pics slow in uploading – we will update daily pics with daily posts as we can)
