We're here!

After over 24 hours of flight and bus travel, we made it to the Stevenson's compound in Kampala. All the luggage made it except one storage bin which should be available to us on Tuesday. We got in late and stayed up late getting settled into our rooms and talking. The first day is typically spent preparing for the trip: reorganizing bins, last minute teaching prep, etc. A trip to the bank is part of the day, as well, to exchange dollars for shillings for helping the churches as well as for personal spending needs.

Of course, there is also a little nap time to acclimate to the 9 hour time difference between Wichita and Kampala. Whew! We are NOT in Kansas anymore.

Thankful for God's protection and providence. Praying for Him to receive all the glory as He enables us to be His servants here in Uganda.
