Hi folks,
I thought I would just give you an update here in Uganda. Well, since we have power on a day that we aren't supposed to, I'm very thankful this morning. Also, I found out yesterday that a friend of Immaculate, who lives in London, has pledged 150 Pounds for our wedding. No, not pounds of food or pounds of soda (pop) or pounds of anything else. For those of you who aren't familiar with the British system of money, the Pound is their equivilent of our dollar, except it's worth about twice as much. It comes out to 516,644 Ugandan Shillings. We are very thankful for that. THis is one tradition that North America should adopt. People get offended if you don't include them in raising funds. Oh, and by the way, the groom's family is supposed to be responsible for the wedding although that's only the official responsibility. Everyone gets together and pitches in to help. It sure helps Immaculate and me out. We paid for about 3/4 of the wedding and now others want to pay the rest. Anyways, I'm getting ready for a busy day. At noon I have to lead a class for an hour, then I have remand centre until 5pm and then a church service until 8pm so I'll be quite busy today.
