Well the weather here on the home front is cold, rainy with a little sleet. Everybody is doing well here and we have been staying busy. Friends brought dinner over tonight and ate with and just sat around and talked. Now everybody is in bed and I am watching my favorite show ER.
Today from the other side of the world we got a phone from Joey - it was 2:30 our time and 9:30pm his. They have been in Uganda since Tuesday and have gotten to do some site seeing. They went the orphanage and got to hear the African Children's Choir. The choir will be heading to the US in a few weeks for 6 months touring in the US. They got to go on a flat boat ride and see the Nile River. Tomorrow they will be going to the open market and the Uganda zoo. Then tomorrow night their time (4pm our time) they will start their flight home. So in less than 48 hours they will land in Knoxville. It was sooooo good to hear his voice and me, Marlana, Melissa and Joshua got to talk to him. The others were still at school. I asked Joey if he had gotten a Coke since he got back in Uganda - he said "yes, but it taste nothing like ours!!" He said the weather over there was hot - they had several days in the Sudan in which it was 120 degrees. In Uganda it has been comfortable in the 80's. I told him what the weather was here and he told me to bring him a coat to the airport!!! He said they really miss the child and he said it has given him a totally different perspective about things. He said he has taken lots of pictures and several hours of video. So i will upload some of them after he gets home.
Please keep the team in your prayers as they travel home - remember they start flying at 4pm (EST) on Friday and will arrive in Knoxville around 4pm Saturday.
Blessings,
Cheryl
