Happy fourth of July! We have arrived! After hours and hours of traveling, it was a relief to arrive at the Eby's home friday night. The traveling went well, no delays or lost luggage, praise God. Scott made friends with a rugby team on the way, and Katie made friends with members of the Ugandan parliment. We met up with the South Carolina team in Detroit, and got to know them a little bit.
The Eby's met us at the airport, and we got everyone home (and all the luggage) in three vehicles. After a good nights sleep (for some of us) we woke up this morning and had a great breakfast of eggs, muffins, the best pineapple we have ever had, and some passionfruit juice and coffee. Then Gerald, the pastor of the Ebys church, came and gave us an orientation, where we learned how best to share the gospel with Ugandans. We learned about the 6 problems in Uganda, Lies, dishonesty, sex, lack of work ethic, inability to resolve conflict, and lack of teamwork. We also learned about Gerald's life, and the Do's and Don'ts of Ugandan culture. This afternoon we will have a fourth of July Picnic, with real american hot dogs and hamburgers. We miss you all, and are praying for you. Please pray for us as we depart tomorrow for Jinja.
