Ok on the home front today things are quiet - Lydia is feeling better but still running a little bit of a fever. Nothing major today able to actually get some rest after 3 nights of being up.
Around the world things seem to be quiet as well. The following is an email sent to us from the contact at the conference office:
Hello All,
I just spoke with Beth and the team is safely in Yei! They saw the other Holston team, who is on their way home, on the airstrip in Yei and were wished well by Bishops Swanson, May and Wandabula. She said they have been resting and that she and Don had met with the headmaster and the team will begin Bible School tomorrow. They know that they will have 6 different groups throughout the day, but are being flexible about what that will actually look like and how much time they will have each group.
She said their accommodations are really nice and they have a sink, toilet and shower in each of their rooms. She said she guessed the temperatures are in the 90s, but not unbearable.
They have a female social worker, Allen, from Humble School in Uganda who is traveling with them as a their liaison from the East Africa Conference.
Beth said that 6 bags and a guitar did not make it to the airport with them, they were in a different vehicle. However, they were all team bags and the team members have all of their things with them. Those bags are being shipped to them by land so pray they arrive before too long.
She also said that she could feel the prayers of many throughout their safe travel and smooth sailing through customs!
I will most likely hear from them again in a couple of days. I’ll let you know when I hear something!
So glad to see they got there safely and smoothly. Thanks for all your prayers and please keep praying as they start the "important part" tomorrow.
Blessings,
Cheryl
