Hi everyone! It's been a while...we're now in Kampala, Uganda with our friends (missionaries). It was a little bit of a fiasco getting here but we made it! Thanks to Jehovah. We were supposed to take a bus a few nights ago to get to Uganda (a 12-15 hour trip) but when our taxi driver (one of our brothers) escorted us to downtown Nairobi in search of the bus depot he found that it was no longer in business!!! Aaah!!! So...we were trying to decide whether or not to take a different bus...but seeing that the bus stations were not in a safe part of the city (even our driver was worried about his car and hired a man with a 2 foot piece of crowbar to watch it for him) Gene lovingly decided to spring for a flight out of Nairobi instead. :)We would've had to stay and wait for the bus with our luggage, sticking out like a sore thumb...so, in the words of our driver/brother "it was a course of wisdom" to pay more for our flight and be safe. So...he took us back to the hotel, they were able to give us back our reservation for our room...we stayed the night and Gene booked us an early flight out. Our flight was delayed over 3 hours, but we made it. It was only a 46 min. flight. I say it was well worth it! Once we got to the airport Gene had to call our friends here and let them know we were in and they were SO worried about us, due to the fact we hadn't been able to keep in contact with them to let them know when we would arrive. Sorry guys! :(
Well, they picked us up at the airport and the missionary family was all having lunch by the time we got here so we had an awesome lunch that one of the couples prepared. It's been so nice being with them. There are 6 couples that live here, 5 of which are currently here, 1 is in the states. They're all super nice. I was able to help the other night with Jen's prep work for the next days breakfast, each couple has a cook and clean day where they prepare the meals for the day for the whole family and cleans and does their own laundry and stuff. Gene's been helping out wherever he can doing work on their computer and stuff around the house too! :)

Ok...well let me show you some pix of stuff we've seen while on our trip! That's what you really want to see right!? :)
