Uganda. I got a good dose of it this morning. It all started with the ride to church. Actually, it was the ride to church. Dave and I caught a ride with one of the MAF families who live just down the road. So we merrily jump in the Toyota Land Cruiser and get started. We were informed by the driver that we were going to be picking up some people. By some people, she meant three adults and 4 children, to go along with the three adults and 2 children already in the vehicle. So all together we had six children and six adults squished into the Land Cruiser. We only had to wait for 20 minutes for one of the families to arrive (a father with three of his children). So it was now 10 o'clock. Church starts at, you guessed it, 10 o'clock. So, already late as we were, the driver decided to try making up time by driving quite fast. The only problem was that the road we usually take into town was closed. In fact, most of the roads into the city centre were closed. The MTN Kampala Marathon was today. So this massive traffic jam was happening, and we were stuck in the middle of it all. So with 12 people crammed into the Land Cruiser, and the bright shining sun, and the mess of cars, it was like sitting in a pressure cooker. We finally made our way out of the mess, but it only took us until 10:45 to get to church. We missed the praise and worship portion of the service, but were in time to hear Pastor Josh begin his message on 1 Timothy 1:1-11 (I think he likes ones). The message was excellent, about how we are to have a church that is pure in doctrine, our lives that are pure, and a pure message to send to the world.
Anyways, now I'm having a problem with my computer. Apparently it doesn't think that I have any hardware, even though I can run programs and such. I'm going to try fix it, but in the process I might lose all my pictures so far. Not a nice feeling to have, but here goes. If you don't hear from me for a few days, it's because I'm mourning the loss of my pictures.
