B-29

First of all, thanks to Scott Baker for having a world plan on his Blackberry.

So, we made it to Uganda as scheduled. We thought me might have to spend Saturday in Amsterdam because our flight was 3 hours late leaving Detroit. Missing our connection in Amsterdam would have meant not being able to fly into Entebbe until Sunday...flights here are only every other day...but our pilot made up for lost time.

Saturday and Sunday were great days of rest. We got to go to a Ugandan wedding, and 2 hours later, we went to the reception. I'm glad I experienced it but will be okay if I never have to again. I left my camera on the bus that brought us back to where we are staying, and it hasn't shown up yet so I have no photos to put on here.

We just finished day 2 of clinic and things are going well. I've held many babies, been peed on, laughed a lot and cried a little. I'll write more later about the area we are in right now.

Tomorrow is our last day of clinic at Namulanda and we will eat an American meal tomorrow night. Thursday is our rest day and we will shop and go to the Nile for a little boat ride. Friday and Saturday are clinic days at Zana Presbyterian clinic.

I miss my friends and family. Please keep praying.

Penny, Ota is almost 5 now and cuter than ever, and thanks for the slippers, they have been very useful.
