We love our bathroom!

You probably could tell from the title that we are home. After a stressful 24+ hours of travel with 3 flights and 2 major delays and one lost piece of luggage we arrived home about an hour ago. Our flight out of Entebbe was delayed over an hour but thankfully some time was made up so we were able to get off in Amsterdam and right back in line for processing and security to get on that plane which left about 45 minutes late which meant getting into Detroit late and then realizing my (Barb's) bag did not get through so a rush to get to our flight to GR which was on time and gloriously short. Generally the actual flights were smooth and the meals were plentiful and delicious. OK, so I am being sarcastic about the meals. At least we still got fed and watered.

Our final few days were spent traveling with Tim and Angie and the kids back into Kampala and then a couple days in Kampala before we started back. It was a good chance to relax but there is not much to do there and a white woman and man sitting by a pool get lots of stares. We had many goodbyes and visitors the last couple days in Soroti. Again it is hard to leave after renewing these relationships.

So now is the fun of sorting 6 weeks of mail, and grocery shopping to restock a refrigerator and pantry that are extremely bare. Hopefully my bag will be on the porch when we get home from the store. Can you say "long, hot shower" 6 times and brushing our teeth using the water that comes out of the faucet instead of pouring it from a bottle of clean water? We love our bathroom!

Thank you to all who followed out blog and the many prayers we know were prayed for us and our work. We saw answers to the prayers from last summer so we know God will work through the prayers prayed this summer as well.

Welcome back to America! I am happy that your trip went well, in spite of a few set backs, and that you were both able to be a blessing to others. I hope you have a wonderful time in Colorado with your family! You deserve it! See you soon!
Love,
Terri
