OH Boy!!!

We have made it safely from Entebbe to Kayunga Uganda. It is the last move we will make in our trip till we return home to Norman. We have been warmly welcomed by our dear Ugandan friend pastor Ian Sabbanja. The work ahead of us in Kayunga will involve helping with very different needs than we were asked to fill in Entebbe. Grant found out not long after we arrived on Thursday evening that he would be speaking at the Christian Schools chapel on Friday, then at a Friday evening service,  both church services on Sunday then again Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday evening. A bit daunting but it has driven him DEEP into the Word, where he should be, as he writes all these sermons. We expect most of our work here to be evangelistic, and involve a lot of travel to nearby village churches. Be praying for safety as we travel and take the Word.
We really look forward to our time here in Kayunga. The church members here have bestowed more gifts (avocados) on us than we know what to do with. But we feel so warmed and welcomed by their love.

We all continue to be doing very very well. Though we are becoming more and more anxious for home and familiar faces, we are trying not to count down the days quite yet in an effort to focus on our work here. Nigel is walking better than ever now.  We just know he has changed so much since we left, but are sure we dont notice nearly as much as all of you will when you see him again.  We praise God for such a versatile child who allows us to uproot him to different countries and homes without any complaints.  And a special guest to this post who has gotten very little mention yet in this blog but should!! is our ever growing baby #2. who can be felt moving and kicking now daily.  We recieved the exciting news this past week that baby is in fact a HE, as we had begun to suspect. We think Nigel will prefer a brother anyways. All our condolences Garryn, we love you!!
