Mutungo, Nansana, and our Safari Friends!

What a busy day we had yesterday! The group that stayed in Kampala left in the late morning to go deep into the hills to visit a new development called "Nansana". It is a new development organized by the former Vice President of Uganda, who has been a strong advocate for the Stevensons here in Uganda. We toured the houses, which are very westernized, the fish ponds, and talked with the organizers about their vision to build a Church, school, and community center for adult learning. Afterwards, we sat in the Vice President's office, hoping to meet and greet him officially. However, he was caught up in a meeting and couldn't come to meet so after a cold soda, and enjoying the air conditioned office, we departed for lunch at the compound.

After a quick bit of lunch, we departed again and drove to Mutungo, the location of Central Community Church's very first church. Upon being introduced to the TAPP women who had arrived for Praise and Worship, Prayer, Bible Study, and Testimony our TAPP leader and translator, Linda, introduced this church to us as the "first born"...the first church that was born from the dedication and assistance of Central Community Church. It was truly an honor to be in that church with this women who absolutely LOVE CCC and its people. CCC has changed lives - for these women, their children, and their eternal future by investing in their lives and the lives of their children.

We left there for home. Ate a delicious dinner. Welcomed our Safari friends home. Swapped stories. Had evening devotions. Talked, Laughed, Shared.

It was wonderful!
