Greetings From the Queen

June21

Hey everyone, we've made it safely to London.  Our last two days that were supposed to be spent on safari in Uganda ended up differently than expected, after we found out the amount of travel involved.  We were going to tag along with another team, but after finding out the trip would have been an eight hour bus ride each direction, we decided to spend the last two days in Uganda resting and spending time with the Masiko family.  Our goodbyes were sad this morning, only because the relationships we built were so sweet.  Hopefully I'll be able to post some more reflections on the trip in the coming days and weeks for those interested.

We are now in London until Saturday morning, and we're thouroughly enjoying the hot showers and soft mattresses.  We were able to meet up with our friends Kathy, Jackie, and Siona tonight, and we're looking forward to a couple days of fellowship and exchanging stories of what the Lord has done in all of our travels.  I'll say it once more for good measure, thank you all so much for your prayers – the ministry portion of our trip was a resounding success.

    So I guess that safari bus ride would have been similar to going from Delhi to the Taj Mahal?

    Well,

    What a great trip. Thanks for taking us along so effectively. Give Siona a big hug. So cool you all could meet there. He has had great experiece as well.

    You guys will be back just in time to say goodbye to Heather and Peter Malakar. They are now officially COC supported missionaries. Yeah!!

    BTW – got an e-mail from Paul P yesterday. Some of the short term teams they sent out are undergoing strong persecution. Pray.

    AWESOME, AWESOME, AWESOME! I’ve not commented before, but I’ve been following every single one of your posts and loved every minute of it. I don’t think I got through any of them with dry eyes (yeah, I’m a crybaby) because I’m so moved by how big our God is. It’s cool to see how He stretches His Hand from America to India to Africa to England to… everywhere! I feel kind of like a shut-in right now (back problems) and this has been such a blessing to get to share in your ministry–it’s a light in my day. THANK YOU LORD and THANKS GUYS! Prayin’ ya home safe!
