Uganda Trip #13

Who’s the culprit? (See the picture) Yesterday, Stu left his teaching material in our Pastoral Training Center (PTC). When he went to teach lesson six today, three pages were missing from his Teacher’s Manual. Turns out a door was left open and one of the cows was looking for some insight into Ephesians. It is […]

Mike, Stu, and I broke out the pickleball gear as it only got to 98 degrees today-even though our weather app said 104. There was pretty good cloud cover, so it wasn’t too bad. No injuries, mild sweat and a good time. I got 13,000 steps in today (so far). It was nice to move […]

I had just turned a corner about 1.25 miles from where we sleep, and I heard a motorcycle coming from behind (over the noise in my AirPods-walks are a great time to listen to podcasts). I looked back over my shoulder to see how far away the cycle was and caught my foot on a […]

After a few worship songs, prayer and announcements, we broke up into three groups: two three-hour lessons on the nature of epistles using the book of Ephesians.

One of the things I always wonder about on these trips is how am I going to sleep——or not. The results of night number one were not good. I started feeling a bit groggy about 8:30 pm Gulu time, 11:30 am Hudson time. For you non math majors, that’s a nine hour difference. I took […]

I am currently typing in the second row of a four row Toyota van as we are driving from Entebbe, where we landed late last night to Gulu, 6-8 hours north near the South Sudanese border. After arriving in Entebbe, we went to a guest house, slept for three hours and met for breakfast at […]
