July 16
As many of you know last Sunday during the final game of the world cup three bombs went off in Kampala. It looks like it may be suicide bombers from Somalia. Somalia is angry with Uganda for sending peace troops to Somalia. The last report I read 74 people died and many more were injured. How sad. What evil. Innocent people dead because of what? It made me think of all the countries and people who are living with these kinds of circumstances every day. What fear. I do admit it shook me up. For one thing our brother-in-law was in Kampala (he is safe), we have sat and ate at the restaurant where one of the bombs when off, and we are going to Kampala this week. Will it happen again? Where? What a world we live in where we have to worry about terrorism. But we cannot live in fear – that isn’t living. So again I go back to God and look to Him. He is our only peace and hope in this world. Pray for Uganda.
We are traveling tomorrow to Kampala then flying to Kenya for a few days. We will be seeing Luka’s kidney doctor in Nairobi on Monday. He wants us to get labs done on Luka in Kampala and again in Nairobi to see if they come back the same. If they are the same result he will trust us to do on going labs from Kampala so we wont have to go to Kenya every three months. We are really praying that Luka’s protein levels are back to normal for real this time.
While we are in Kenya we will also be attending the Christian Hospitality Network (CHN) retreat. It is a retreat provided for missionaries to come and relax. We look forward to meeting new people and being with our team, who are also coming. What a blessing.
One more thing, Lydia lost her first front tooth. She must almost be seven – July 31! I just had to share a picture of her. Thanks for praying for us!
