It is 11 PM on Wednesday night here. I began the day by teaching the first session. Since then we have sat and talked with so many wonderful couples. Debbie and I sat on a panel of 4 couples and took written questions from the attendees. I have to say that Debbie has shone throughout the conference, and connected with so many of the ladies. They were so appreciative of her words and her heart. We had a couple of tea breaks, had lunch and took some of the beautiful afternoon to pack up for our departure tomorrow. At 6 PM (that means 7 PM “Uganda time”) there was a delicious bbq, of pork, chicken, and goat! We all ate outdoors, after which we went inside for the evening session, which I also taught. I felt great about all of my sessions, and the responses have been very good.
A couple of the folks we met:
A pastor from Nigeria, whose wife was killed in the 1998 bombing of the US Embassy in Nairobi. She was in a bus in front of the building. A couple of years later he lost his son to a rare disease. He and his second wife are wonderful.
One of the chief leaders and organizers of the conference, Doctor Juventine, who is not only a pastor but directs a hospital. He and his wife are greatly loved and respected and we enjoyed our time with them.
There are too many others to name. This has been a truly unforgettable experience for us as a couple. We would love to return.
Tomorrow morning we leave at 7 AM for the drive to Murchison Falls National Park for 2 nights. Everybody tells us that it is extraordinarily beautiful, and that we are sure to see lots of wildlife, including hippos, lions, elephants, giraffes, and more. We’ll be staying at a lodge, and will have several safari drives.
Sorry for the lack of posts, but the wifi has ben sketchy at best.
I have included a photo from this morning.
Thanks for the prayers. Keep them coming!
