Monday

Today was a really nice day to relax. Most of the Montgomery team left this morning to go rafting on the Nile, so the rest of us got a much needed day of relaxation. Naomi Hill, a doctor from the South Carolina team, left after our week in Jinja to do some medical work up in northern Uganda near the Congo border. She just got back today, and will be staying with us until Thursday, and its been fun getting to see her again.

We got a really amazing and encouraging phone call today. A pastor we worked with in Jinja named Jehosaphat left to start a church in an area of Uganda that is 98% Muslim. He brought his family with him, and they had their first church service in their home on Sunday. They had 21 people!! That is an amazing number, this is the first church of it's kind in that area, and now his home is too small to work as their gathering place! So he is trying to rent an old disco hall for their church building. God is really working through Jehosaphat!
