OK, it is 4:15 PM on Monday. This morning I flew back to Entebbe, once again via Missionary Aviation Fellowship. A pleasant 45-minute flight, and I enjoyed looking at the lush, green landscape of southern Uganda.
I finished my class on The Gospel of Matthew on Saturday. I really was glad to teach those great students. I also had 5 sessions with the second-year students, introducing a new curriculum. They loved it and wanted more! I will listen to my recordings and develop it and refine it but I thought that the sessions went well.
On Sunday I preached at both morning worship services: the first one in English, the second one using a translator. It was nice to talk with so many people following the services. Then at noon, I went to the home of Dr. Daniel Graham, the Director of the School of Ministry, where he and his wife Rachel and a wonderful British missionary couple hosted a spaghetti lunch for all of the students. Lots of fun! Then there was bocci ball, board games, and a birthday cake. I was there for 4 hours! After being driven back to the campus, I rested until 6, then went to dinner with Pastor Juventine and his son at the favorite restaurant in town. What a day it was.
So, tomorrow, Tuesday, I will be meeting with the pastor of CC Kampala, the capital city of Uganda. Then on Wednesday I will head for home.
I am thankful for good health throughout; for the stamina to teach 7 hours a day; for the priceless fellowship; for the daily 7 AM delicious coffee with Juventine after walking the 30 seconds to his home! But I miss Debbie and my family, so looking forward to being home.
Thank you for the prayers. They really sustain me! Continue to pray me home safely.
Love to you all,
David

I’d say you lead an adventuresome life and many are blessed for it pastor David. We wish you well.
I always enjoy reading your “travel blog”. Glad to hear that it’s been a smooth trip. Praying for safe flights home.
Love you, man.
Pastor David,
This is Gary Fryer from your home church. I’m blessed and inspired to read your travels around the globe. Having the privilege of hearing you preach and teach for several years in our home church of CCS, it’s truly amazing to read of your trips across the seas serving our Lord and blessing so many brothers and sisters abroad. I’m truly honored and grateful to hear you teach every time, like you did this morning through the Book of Zachariah. I don’t tell you enough how much I appreciate you’re faith and commitment to our Lord. God bless you for all the work you do in the name of Jesus 🙂
God bless,
~ Gary
