We had 7 Bags FULL!!
This is in Mpigi (we had just barely arrived!). The kids were sooo warm and welcoming!
The grounds are BEAUTIFUL... this is where our Church-plant PPCC is.
Hi Everyone!
THANKS SO MUCH for looking after our kids and sending the re-assuring emails!
We have NOT been worrying about the kids at all... but it's so nice to be RIGHT! We're glad that they seem to be doing awesome! WE DO MISS YOU BOYS A LOT THOUGH!...many of the little kids remind us of you b/c of their fantastic smiles and sillinesss!! Dad played soccer with some Really good little soccer players too!
We just arrived at the place where we be staying for the next 2 weeks ...KIBAALE! Jeff and Shan have a beautiful place here... and we have our own small house to stay in while we're here... cool. We will have access to J&S's computers now that we're here so we will be able to keep in touch a little.
SO!...the flight to London was long... but good. We left one hour late but arrived on schedule (?!)... tail wind :0). After a long line in Customs we did a swift (and brief) walk around London - Loved it. Would love to spend a few days there!!! Will have to go back some time! The weather was really nice... like a fall Day at home :0)
We flew into Entebbe at 8am Friday (would have been 6pm for you guys). Made a quick stop there to have a shower and drop you guys an email... and headed off to Mpigi (where our church-plant is... PPCC). AMAZING people there! we felt so warmly welcomed and appreciated! The kids and staff are wonderful. We've already taken over 500 pictures... might have to go thru them at some point! I'll see if I can load some up in the next couple of days!
We love you all and are very thankful to you for taking care of our boys.
I'm going to try to post to the Blog in the future sot that we can keep everyone up to date at once!
HUGS AND KISSES TO MY BOYS!!
Mom, did Aiden make it to VT ok? How's that going, Aiden??...Aiden, get Grandma to help you type me an email :0)

Great blog! So glad the link was on the other blog site. I've been checking to see if there would be news of your arrival. I'm glad it was safe and what a blessing to be welcomed by such wonderful people. I've seen Aiden at school each day. He's a little shy, especially when i walk into class to say good bye to Kate in the morning...I don't think they are supposed to talk when they are sitting in their desks...maybe I'm too disruptive :) But i just have to say hello. Did you know that he sits right in front of Kate? She said she can talk to him a lot. They sang and read aloud what they were thankful for in chapel this morning. Aiden read loud and clear. And i could see him singing too!
ReplyDeleteCan you believe you've been gone a week almost already? I'm sure you are missing home a little, but what a joy it must be to be there.
You are really making a difference!
Take care of yourselves!!
Blessings,
Terri
