Back to Africa #4--Arrived

I finally get an opportunity to send an entry.  Tom and I arrived in Entebbe, Uganda tonight to no power, but at least the generator give us light and WiFi.  There is a slight breeze off of Lake Victoria that keeps it from getting too hot.
We flew in to Entebbe tonight from Harare, Zimbabwe.  We almost missed our flight that ended up taking off over 1/2 hour early!
We spent about 3 days and 2 nights with Danny Curle. Danny has been in Africa for 49 1/2 years.  Our church has supported Danny for over 20 years.  To our embarrassment, this is the first time we have visited him.  It was a joy to get to know him and hear all that God is doing in and through his ministry there in Zimbabwe.  It was a whirlwind visit, but Danny did a great job giving us a great overview.
We met one of his sons, Steven and his family who serve with Danny in various ministries.  We also met some of Danny's 13+ adopted children.  They are all grown and serving God in various capacities.
Tomorrow we are picked up and will be taken to Jinja, Uganda to visit with Sam and Nancy Tushabe of AOET.  African Orphan Education Trust serves  "to increase family and community capacities to care for orphans and other vulnerable children, who are either affected or infected by HIV. "
Continue to pray for us as we travel and explore what God seems to be doing in Uganda through AOET and others.
