hi all =)
chady & i made it safely to kampala last nite after about 20 hours of travel. we arrived in the dark so haven't seen very much of the city, but it is good to be here. phew! we met some of the people that work at the come, let's dance houses. they have all been very kind and welcoming. the weather here is pretty mild - not as hot as i would have imagined on the equator. the air here is definately thicker with moisture than in denver. i awoke this morning to the sounds outside our window - birds chirping, a child crying, someone singing, and some others talking. walking along the road to come & type this, we passed houses built of bits of wood & steal, small gardens, small piles of trash, small shops with items lining the shelves. the air of burning trash hangs faintly in the air. many of the children along the road from the house called out greetings to jeremy who is our "guide" today as julie is in jinja talking to someone about digging a working well at the children's home. please be in prayer that this negotiation and the finances work out for them. after sending out our emails (which is infinately slower than even dial up at home - a test in patience - we were warned of this...), we will be heading to the children's home for much of the rest of the day. we are glad to be here and are so thankful to you for your love and prayers. we'll type again soon. tanya

glad to hear you made it safely - enjoy Kampala. Grace and peace.
What a long flight! So glad you are there and are safe. Sounds like there is an exciting adventure ahead for you. Can't wait to see pictures and hear more about your visit. As always, my prayers and thoughts are with you.
Ah yes, the hurry-up-and-wait version of email. I think it helps for all Americans to experience how other cultures do not put time on a pedestal as is our custom. Bring back the pony express!
So glad to hear that you made it safely. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers as you do God's work over there:) Love, Cindy
