It feels like we never left. That was Barb's assessment after getting out of the shower last night. It truly feels pretty much the same as it did to be here a year ago. I guess this is a good thing. Not much has changed-the apartment is still the same, electricity is off right now, and yesterday the water was off but was on this morning. Sometimes the same is good and sometimes not so good.
Our flights and connections all went quite well. We were an hour late leaving Amsterdam on Wednesday morning so we were a bit late getting into Entebbe, but beside that all went well. We stayed the first night at a guest house in Entebbe which was nice. Our driver arrived on Thursday morning on time!! We had a very good trip out to Soroti in a very nice vehicle. We shared a ride with a young man who is visiting with the team here to see about the possibility of coming out and joining the mission team here. It has been very dry here, but we brought the rain with us. It rained very hard on the drive here which is the first rain that they have had here in three weeks.
It has been wonderful seeing people again. Everyone we saw yesterday was so happy we are back and the girls are already climbing all over us and wanting books read and games played. We spent most of today so far figuring out what our schedule will look like for the next 4 weeks. Now we are taking care of things in town like groceries, the market, and internet. We found out last night that they no longer have internet at home so we need to go into town to check and send email. This might decrease or delay our postings but we will do our best. Internet cafe rates are very cheap so this will not be a costly addition.
It is the Fourth of July, but they do not seem to know that it is a holiday. We are going to have a picnic this afternoon, but I do not believe there will be fireworks. They try to celebrate these kinds of things just for a little bit of home.
Give thanks for safe travel. Pray for good health and energy to do the things that we are planning to do.

I am so glad you arrived safely! It sounds as if the adults and the children are very excited to have you back as well!
I will keep you in my prayers as you spread the Good News. Barb, I am also happy to hear that your blind friends are doing so well with the knitting--heaven did come to earth!!!
