Safe and Sound

We arrived safe and sound late last evening after a long but uneventful trip. Our hotel is absolutely beautiful and the security is unbelievably tight. We feel sort of like diplomats! Dan is settling in just fine. The money for shoes arrived via wire transfer and we were able to get 29 million shillings to buy 1407 pairs of shoes and stockings! It was a huge ordeal at the bank but that is the way we wanted it to be - difficult for people to get money out from project funds.

Keep praying for us as we begin distributing shoes tonight and as I (David) share at the Kiwatule church tonight. There has been some dissension in the church over our treatment of the former pastor and project leader who stole from us. I will update you as soon as I can.

Bye for now.
