Homeward Bound

We are in the  beautiful city of Kigali Rwanda ready to catch our flight home tonite.
We are extremely  tired  but also in awe of where God has taken us the last 5
and 1/2 weeks. We have traveled many miles safely in a trusty vehicle, ate way too much food, met many wonderful people, heard tragic stories almost beyond belief, and have seen the Love and message of Jesus shared in Uganda. So we praise our God for his mercy and grace. Looking forward to Christmas at home. "Peace on Earth- Good-
will to Man!"

Fellowship at our "home" with some young couples-a
Good evening of laughter and sharing.

We traveled to Rushere, about 4 hours away
to see friends Peter and Sharon and be
at a conference at their church and the
next day at a village church. This is their
boys Timothy, Benjamin, and David.

A Good Week With Kabale Friends

We have had an enjoyable week in Kabale- visiting friends in their homes and in their 

Churches. We have laughed and cried and heard life stories we can't even imagine. And yet we know that in the USA or in Uganda there is no story too big or too horrendous that God can't pour his healing mercy and grace into it.

Dear friends for many years- Jackson, Kate and children-
Derrick, Tracy, Grace and Bright. We love to travel way up
their hill and spend the day with them.

Jackson's Mama and me- we have so much fun but
We don't understand a word each other says!!
