cows are crying outside to use the internet

It’s almost dark after the first full day in Uganda. Already we have a book full of memories. So much can happen in an airport or four, as was our case in four different countries.

Highlights:
All our bags arrived with us despite being tagged for Nairobi and being heavier than we planned when we checked in. Even though we made every effort to get the basement full of clothes, school supplies, drugs, and balls to Africa, weight restrictions prevented us from carrying the 420 lbs we planned. Instead we got away with 270 lbs (with an extra 40 each on our backs!)

A beautiful visit in the depths of Kiyonsa Village in Kampala. Morris, a former ACC child took us to introduce his family, show us the sites (termite mounds and pigs) and wanted to give a wedding gift to our friends. He and another choir member gave them a goat that was affectionately names JaSa after Jami and I. Morris' sisters made us a great lunch after we walked through the forests and herded cows.

Prossy and Jordan greeted us at the airport with fresh fruit, water, and big hugs.
It’s great to be here, now to writing out the rest of the thoughts for future posts. The cows are calling us home
