We're in Kampala, Uganda!

Well after 40 hours of travelling, Kristen and I arrived in Kampala, Uganda on Thursday! We got off the plane, pumped to be here and ready to meet our family that we are staying with! Without any trouble I found my bag, but Kristen's was nowhere to be found! Upon investigation, we discovered it was still in Dubai!! So, we left the airport and was kindly picked up by a friend of the family we're staying with. Little did I expect how excited I would be as we drive from the airport in Entebbe to Kampala (45 mins away). It truly felt like being home again! I'm not sure how to explain it but there is an amazing feeling of being back. Kris and I just kept saying 'I can't believe we're back!'. I think more than anything we just felt so blessed by God that He would allow us to come back.. As we parted in July last year, we were not sure when the next time we would see each other, but joked about the thought of meeting up again in Uganda! Yes, we're both Australian, but find it easier to see each other half way across the globe, than in Australia!

So we're here! We arrived in Kampala and met Barbara, John and their 9 year old daughter Crystal! What an incredibly delightful family!! Wow - so blessed! We both feel that Ephesians 3:20 is becoming a reality already - Far above anything we could ask or imagine! They have welcomed us into their beautiful home and are treating us like family! Nakato, their maid is also adorable! Although we can't communicate bc we don't speak Lugandan and she does not speak english we are having a great time with her! I am sure she is tired of hearing our extensive 5 word Lugandan vocabulary, but is sweet non-the-less and laughs with us as we attempt to communicate! lol..

Well I have to run.. our driver is here.. we're going out exploring the city today - visiting some martyr tombs and the markets etc.. Crystal is coming with us so it should be a fun girls day out!

Hopefully i'll be back later...

Blessings! Bec & Kristen!
