In Uganda

Published by jasonstrip at 12:37 pm under Uncategorized Edit This

We stayed at the great place last night in Ethiopia…awesome food.  We left this morning for Uganda.  We arrived into Kampala, Uganda at 2:50p.m.  We were picked up by a local pastor and went and visited our first orphanage for this trip.  We were literally ran over by the children’s excitement to see us.  We all took a bunch of pictures.  By the time we were ready to leave, all the children were loving on Papa Pete, Jim and Joe.  It was an amazing experience in which I was not ready for.  That could be an entire novel in its self.  We are in Jinja, Uganda tonight and for the next couple of nights.  We are about 60 yards from the Nile…or so we were told.   It was dark when we got here, tomorrow morning should be a great sight. 

We will visit 3 orphanages tomorrow.  Those are places you just don’t run in and out of either.  Today, the children had an entire program they did for us.  It was so nice.  I wish I knew how to post pictures… I will work on that later.  Once again, it is late and my body has not caught up with this time zone. 

We did have a fun ride from Kampala to Jinja.  Pete called our driver a kamikaze, and one point calmly asked him if they didn’t believe in using headlights. There are no rules on the road here.  It was a riot during our long ride to Jinja.  Everyone is doing great!  More tomorrow.

    I don’t know if you’ve seen invisible children or not, but i’m really passionate about it. To be there in the middle of that would be an amazing experience. I’m so excited to hear about it. Be safe, and just know you’re being prayed for over here.

    Kamikaze? You have never been in a car w/Pete! (just kidding). Been praying for you all. Know it is an amazing trip. Tell Jim “hi” (my dad)
