February 4, 2009

I HAVE THE SUDAN VISA IN HAND! That has always been the wildcard. I guess in the past it has taken 2 full days, but it only took me 6 hours and 50 dollars! The Lord has heard our prayers! Today I am putting some finishing touches on the study on Genesis by reading some new resources that I have. I leave for Yambio, Sudan at 6am tomorrow, and depending on which route they take, I should be there no later than 1pm. My contact here in Kampala is named Pascal, and he is from Sudan. He describes Yambio as an "advanced village." :)

I have been in Kampala, Uganda for 36 hours. It is certainly a culture shock. It is the capitol of Uganda, and there are a lot of people! I found an internet cafe abut 1/2 mile from my hotel. It is a back room in a building of shops that has 8 very old computers. The connection is very slow, so there is a lot of waiting and rebooting. It costs about 50 cents for 30 minutes. But what a blessing this is! It is quite comforting being able to email Roxanne and the girls, and update this blog!

I understand that there is internet in Yambio, so I hope to continue updating this blog. Thanks for you prayers -- the Lord hears and has answered them!!!

  1. Good news! Why doesn't it not surprise me that you're still tweaking the night before? Try not to have too much fun and stay up all night in that "advanced village" there!
