February 3, 2010

Today is a day of waiting for tomorrow's flight to Juba, then Friday's flight to Yambio.

The hotel I am staying at is called the "Jevine Hotel." It is $24/night, and it is like a single dorm room. It has a fan, bed, bath, 2 sittign chairs, a large end table, a shower (sort of), a small TV with about 6 channels, (did i say a fan?), and a breafast omlet and 2 pieces of bread are included. It is very clean and the staff is very friendly. It has been a good place to stay here in Kampala.

I was talking with the front desk girl named Betsy and I asked her how we can pray for her. She is very sweet and nice, can't be much more that 18 yreas old. She is a Christian since birth, and asks that we pray for her in two ways. The first is that she has a peace from God -- she didn't elaborate, but there was something troubling her. She also asks that we pray for her future, so that she can have a better life. She makes about $75 month and is saving to go to college. She wants to study "Developmental studies" she called it. She described it as going in and helping to improve outlying villages. Tuition is $350 a semester. She said her parents will help with tuition also. So please pray for Betsy, that the Lord will grant her peace and that he will direct her life.

I hope to get online in the next couple of days, but it could be sketchy. I will update the blog as soon as I can!!!

  2. Is there a fan in your room? We'll be sure to include Betsy and Zemmer in our prayers as well.
