Welcome to Uganda. Or, at least the part that our mission team visited in January, 2010. This post is for your entertainment as you wait for us to prepare the reports concerning visits to three churches, two schools, one prison and the Mission Team in Mbale. And of course, we will expand a bit on the experiences of our short, post-mission visit to Murchison Falls National Park where this video was taken:
Time in Uganda
Let's Get Started
OK. I think it is about time to populate this blog with accounts of the 2010 Onalaska Church of Christ / Good Shepherd Lutheran Church mission trip to Uganda. I have access to two journals and will create posts from these.
To start with, there will be day-by-day entries following the intinerary published below. Whenever I add the posts for a particular day, I'll change the color of the text in the list from gray to green. So, you'll know how far along we are.
With that, it is time to post... Updated May 15, 2010
