safe in soroti

hopefully this works, because we really dont know what we're doing when it comes to blogs. But we'll give it a shot!

 

the rest of the plane trips were uneventful, and we arrived in Entebbe on Friday afternoon. We were warmly received by Frank's bacpackers for our first night and even woke up to a tropical thunderstorm on Sat morning. Very loud thunder!

 

From Franks we set out on the road adventure of a lifetime to Soroti, it was at this point we relised we weren't on Australias well kept roads anymore with pot holes the size of small swimming pools and cyclists as far as the eye could see and even in blind spots. The road rules are ... different... but praise God the team arived safely to a warm welcome from the members of a local church. After breif introductions we were treated to a great home cooked meal by the pastors wife, Maggie. That drew us to the close of that night...

 

This morning we went to our first Ugandan church service. What an amazing experience that was. We were again so warmly welcomed even though we think we made it start an hour and a half late...(but thats the beauty of African time) We sang praise songs with the Ugandan people - with the language swapping often between English and Eteso, the local language here. Some members of the team shared their testimonies and we also sang some Aussie worship songs.

 

We were treated to a lovely morning tea and had time to bond with some of the members of the congregation, particularly the many children.

 

Thankyou so much for all your prayers, we really do feel that we are being held in his mighty hands.

 

Team Uganda :)
