Things happen for a reason
Monday 26th 9:27 am
If things always went smoothly what would we have to learn. If things always went smoothly would we forget to rely upon our Lord and Savior to guide us, to watch over us, to keep us safe from harm. All things happen for a reason.
Thankfully only a few small things have happened. All suitcases arrived the same time the team arrived in Entebbe but somehow one suitcase was left at the airport so they had to go back and pick it up this morning.
Some medication and surgical instruments were left at home. In America we have the convenience of sending something overnight if needed but in this case that’s not possible, only a few things will change because of this.
While traveling, the team took pictures of a dam, they were stopped by security and told they had to delete the pictures. Security is high right now not only because of the recent bombing in Kampala but with the African Union meeting I would think extra security would be needed.
Before the team arrived one of the vans they would be using was in a small accident. A driver behind the van hit someone on a motorcycle and it caused the motorcycle to crash into the van. The driver of the van was fine. I don’t know what happened to the other people but pray they are ok. Dr. Patrick had to hire another driver and get another van.
Pray for the team that they will not be discouraged before they even get started. Pray for their safety as they travel. Pray for good rest and lots of energy as they get ready to start their mission.
I’ll post again this evening to let you know how the rest of the days goes for the team.
Until then……….
