The story begins

Today we have at last got wi-fi so now to update you all on our progress so far…

After nearly 24 hours of travel we have at last arrived at our destination “shalom guest house” in Kampala. We were greeted on arrival by Rachel who introduced us to our guide for our stay, Skovia. The team were extremely tired so a days rest was well in order. 

We have spent today as a team, relaxing together in the guest house, as well as a small trip down the road to the local town where we got money changed and visited the local shops. The culture over here certainly contrasts with back home, with the pace of life being very slow and people focusing on relationship rather than productivity.  Thus far we have been made feel very welcome by everyone at Fields of Life and the weather is fantastic with a slightly sticky, humid 27 degrees. The food has also been delicious with seconds on offer if required, particularly amongst the hungry teenagers. 

This evening will be spent with some prayer and devotion as we look forward to beginning our work in the school tomorrow. Thanks for all the prayer and support we have received so far and please continue to remember us in your thoughts and prayers.

God Bless, from all of us out here in Uganda
