Thank you so much for praying for our family as we traveled to Kampala, Uganda for the BIMU Conference. We made it there and back to Kisii; and the only problem that we had, was that our van overheated about 5 or 6 times. But each time we were able to pull over, let it cool down, refill with water, and then get started once again. We thank the Lord that we had no other problems!
We had a wonderful time while we were in Kampala. We got to meet many of our fellow missionaries for the first time. It is nice to be able to put faces to the names that we have been praying for for years. Our children had a great time making new friends, who also know what it is like to grow up on the mission field. They all had a lot in common, and they were able to have lots and lots of FUN! As parents, we got a lot of good preaching from veteran Missionary Mark Sigstad (missionary in Nigeria for over 25 years)! He preached on the home, family, and ministry; and it is exactly what we needed. We also enjoyed all of the fellowship and fun that was scheduled for the adults as well. It was truly a week of refreshment and encouragement for our whole family.
We want to say thank you to all of those responsible for the planning and preparation of the meeting, and thank you for allowing us to take part in your meeting. You were all a tremendous blessing to each of us. And thank you again for all of you who prayed for our safety as we traveled the 9 1/2 hours to Kampala and then back to Kisii, Kenya.
