We have finished the packing, weighing, packing again process and now are trying to stay up till 1 or 2 in the morning to help adapt to the coming time zone. (Uganda is 10 hours ahead of us here on the west coast.) There are more than 10 boxes of things that we could not fit in our 200 pound limit, so those things will go back to Hillsboro and the team that comes in May will bring them. Thanks to all of you who sent such wonderful clothes, school supplies, treats for the kids, and so many other things that are both necessary and fun. I was so touched thinking of all of you as I looked at all of it.
I talked with Rogers last night, and the children are very excited about having "Pastor Laurie come with Teacher Abby." They have a program planned, he said. I will get pictures to send to all of you.
I have included 2 pictures - the first is Rogers' youngest child, Hope, who turned 1 in February. The other is the house Abby and I will be living in in Budaka so you can have an picture of where we will be very soon.
Thanks to all of you who have sent emails and facebook messages encouraging us as we leave. I hope to write and let you know what is happening very soon. Have a wonderful day.
Laurie
