Day 5 in Uganda. Landed at Entebbe in torrential rain on Saturday, the plane behaving more a speedboat than an aircraft. Then here to Namirembe Guest House in Kampala (Allan outside our room pictured above).
Since then we’ve had a productive few days, and met numerous interesting and useful people (including good friends from CMS we’d met in training) who all asked us for our ‘phone number. Sadly couldn’t oblige with Ugandan numbers. So we’ve bought new mobile phones (haven’t had a new one for 4 years anyway). Real excitement! But still learning how to use advanced technology.
Discovered we’d only been let into Uganda for 1 month despite having a 3 month visa. But a really helpful man at the Church of Uganda Provincial Office is sorting out the bureaucracy for us. Still might involve a delay, but we’re hoping to clarify the next move when we meet Bishop Joel this afternoon.
Air freight currently in transit from Amsterdam to Entebbe - should arrive tomorrow. Thence to a friend’s garage awaiting the next move.
We’re both well, glad to be here and excited about what God has got in store for us.
Incidentally, weather’s improved from Saturday.

Sounds like you're taking it all very much in your stride! Lovely to hear your news - I've never kept track of a blog and I intend to become your biggest blog fan. Hoping for some gems over the next few years to rival 'the greed, the avarice' speech Dad recorded on the dictaphone at the top of our trek in Nepal! All the best, God bless. Ben xxx
