Planes trains and automobiles.

We traveled for what felt like days. We journeyed on planes, trains and automobiles to arrive at our destination of Buikwe. After many sore backs, bums and airplane food we are very excited to have arrived and lay horrizontaly. We were warmly welcomed by our hosts, and are being treated very well.
Saturday
We had a rest day in which we traveled to the source of the Nile, Lake Victoria. There we sweat out everything we had been eating for the past few days. We also ventured to the Bujagali falls (also the Nile) and watched young Ugandan men crazily float down the falls with a just a jerry can hoping for tips once they've survived. We also bravely took a boat ride where they bailed as fast as the motor went. The sights were beautiful and we very much appreciated the falls. We also learned that we too are a tourist attraction because of our yellow skin and blond hair.
Sunday
Today we split into two groups and traveled to two rural churches. The teams were Bill and Amy and the other team was Wilma, Taryn and Randy. At these churches Bill preached and Amy gave her testimony. Wilma preached at the other church while Randy gave his testimony. The whole experience of worshiping with Ugandans brought tears to our eyes and movement in our feet. Their passion for praising God with hearts of gratitude is second to none. We have learnt a lot.
Monday
The plan for today was to do home visits and encourage the leaders who are running programs. We met many people living with HIV who touched our hearts. It was difficult to see how this disease has ruined the lives of so many people in Uganda. We now have a better understanding as to what they actually deal with here. We really appreciate the work of IN Uganda, we have seen the support of Crossroads church has made a difference. There are many sad stories of which we will share when we will return to Canada. Just know that our hearts have been deeply touched our eyes have cried and we feel for the people here.
More to come as we have access to interent.
Please keep praying.
