Saturday we drove to Kampala, Uganda, the Capital city of Uganda. We stopped at a coffee shop called Café Java and ate. For all my coffee shop friends, their Café au Lait was very good! Afterwards we went to the 50th year marriage anniversary for an American missionary who had been in Uganda for 32 years. That evening Pastor Michael informed Dad he would be preaching the next morning. So the next morning Dad preached two services at Agape Baptist Church where Michael is pastor. Jonathan, Mom, Timmy, and I sang two songs in the second service. It was then that we discovered that it was apparently seen as disrespectful for a man to sing standing next to his mother-in-law. Oops... Oh well, we were just standing in order of song parts. That afternoon we drove to Busia, Uganda on the east boarder of Uganda and Kenya. On the way, we stopped for chicken on a stick, which was sold by street venders who walked right up to your car in the street and sold it to you through the window. Talk about drive through service! Once we got to Busia we unloaded at the Rand Hotel where we stayed all week. We ate at the hotel with Pastor Lawrence and his wife, Mrs Irene, with whom we served all week. We went over the week's plan and hammered out the last minute details. Then we tucked our mosquito nets around our beds and slept quite well all night.
