This is the sixth computer and th fourth internet cafe that we have been in today trying to get this blog done! There doesn't seem t be a good connection anywhere over here today!
And now it has started to rain very hard --- we'll see if you end up getting this attempt!
I have the Sudan visa in hand; and a flight to Juba on Thursday. I still do not know what will happen in Juba . . . but the Lords does! If all goes well, I will get a flight to Yambio on Friday.
Today I was walking down the road and a man came up very quickly from behind me. I almost got nervous, but it was broad daylight and all kinds of people walking in the same directon. He ended up passing by me and then slowing down in front of me, acting nervously. As I got close to him, he turned and said that he always wanted to talk to someone like me (I took it to mean that I was white, since I was the only white person around.) So we started to talk and I asked him his name. Hs name is Zemmer Henry, and he is a mechanic in Kampala. It turns out he is a Christian, so I asked him if there was anything we could pray for him about. He asks us to pray for his family, who doesn't know the Lord. You could see that this troubled him greatly. So please pray for Zemmer Henry's family, that the Lord will work through His Word to bring the good news of salvation in Jesus Christ to them!
Today we went on the public taxi system to get my flight to Juba. There are 1000s of VW van look-a-likes here that serve as "taxis". They put 16 people in each van! 5 rows of seats, three across. It is a weird experience! I think we had two kids up front and a baby on one lady's lap. So I think we may have had 19! This includes the driver and one "conductor" who is collecting money and making sure the van is filled whenever someone gets off. It sure gives a new definition of public taxi!!
