We have arrived safely in Uganda and are in Mbale. Today we went to Pastor Apollo's church. He is a wonderful man of God who has inspired all of us since we first met him here in Uganda 6 years ago. Gana and I taught the women's Sunday School, Michael entertained the children with puppets and Bible stories, and Doug and David taught the men's Sunday School. David gave a wonderful testimony and sermon followed by a sermon from Pastor Apollo. (He graciously said yes to our request to hear him teaching - we are always sad that we never get to hear the pastors preach when we are here).
In the afternoon we went to the pharmacy to buy medicine and then spent a couple of hours, joined by three of the nurses and a pastor, counting the pills into packets. We made a small dent in the supply and will have to do a lot more counting pills tomorrow but at least we have some already prepared and ready to go. Tomorrow we head out to our first church where we will have 4 doctors, 7 doctors assistants (like PA's) a dentist and many nurses seeing as many patients as they can, dispensing the medicine and handing out the mosquito nets. This year we are going to three locations instead of two. We will serve two days at each church. We are excited to be able to serve more churches.
Thank you all so much for your support, prayers and donations. You are a more important part of this mission than we are - we wouldn't be able to do this work without you!!! Please continue to keep us in your prayers.
