Update Summer

I am in Kampala. Not an expected destination, but here I am. I have had many unexpected experiences this week: being soaked by the rain and then wrapped in a blanket in the middle of a village, eating goat intestine and drinking the local brew; having my camera drop into a cup of milk tea; smoke rising from my battery cables and my truck refusing to start; being towed to Naakale; attending our neighbor's funeral; realizing that the truck problem is greater than first expected, so we had to go to Mbale; on the way to Mbale, the axle on the truck comes off (not good!), we remove the axle and stuff it with a rag, good enough to limp down to Mbale; get stuck in the middle of the river and have to be pulled out (this is where my phone stopped working); leave the truck in Mbale, with Bob Wright (the incredible), and hitch a ride with friends up to Kaabong; have a meeting with the elders in Lotim to settle some land issues (hopefully I'll be there in January to participate in a training put on by the Baptists); then travel to Kotito to catch a flight to Kampala with MAF. So now, now I am in Kampala, waiting for parts for our truck. Please pray that we will be able to find them quickly. We are stuck until we get those parts.
