Second Post from Uganda

So finally a little farther a long in some computer work I have been asked to do. Its been really great to help people out here, down side is not enough time as I would like to do all the stuff they have asked. We have done so much and there has been so little time.

Being here has really made me miss Zimbabwe and how things were there. Undoughtedly things have changed becaue of poor leadership. I still can't get over the roads. I have been told now that roads are to be improved because of the meeting of the British Common Wealth nations. Supposidly the Queen is going to donate the funds as well as other countries will donate funds to improve various things in this country. The meeting is at the end of the year and they hope to have repaved a good chunk of the road system there.

People here are really friendly, they always ask what places we have seen of Uganda. We visited Murchison Falls(sp?) this weekend, it one of the places that flows into the Nile river. I have some really cool pictures of that place, very incredible view and scene.

One of the downsides to my trip is that I will not be able to experience church here. I am really kind of bummed, I really wanted to see how it compared to Zimbabwe way of doing church. I have been thinking quite a bit about church here. Some of it is western influenced, but a good chunk of it is there own. I keep thinking about Acts and the early church in this context. Unfortunatley, I don't know much about the culture here to really be able to answer questions I have. I wish I were to be here longer.

More to come.....

Update: So I added comments, feel free to give them a try. Email me if they don't work.

First update from Uganda

So I made it to Uganda, some of you may not know, I am in Uganda, here to visit my parents. This is the first time I have had a chance to post anything about my two week trip. I have so many pics of the trip, that its just not worth posting them yet. The internet connection is very slow(1 line-768kbps and 1 line-512kbps upload and 256kbps down). Man so much has happened. I will try and post more when I have time. But to give a quick summary....
Got here saftely, very tired, but in one piece. The flights were uneventful, luggage and customs were very easy in all countries. We got here at night and I got to experience the road system here. I wouldn't say they have so much as law and order to roads, just ways of letting people know how they are driving. We have almost seriously hit at least 3-5 motorcycleists here. I would never want to ride here... its insane!!! That weekend we went to a resort on Lake Victoria, got to see the the beggening of the Nile river(The White Nile). Very cool!!! We came back and I had a day on Uganda Christian University(UCU)campus, I got to see there very small network. Then the next day we were off to a Safari in northern Uganda. Was very fun, we had a bunch of Bethel students here who joined us for the Safari, met lots of new people, very interesting and fun weekend. Now I am back, I will be working on some computer problems of staff(nursing in particular) at UCU. Should be fun. I will be posting more later in the week.
