Change in Plans

Just a quick prayer request. Today our team was suppose to go on our spiritual retreat at a hotel in Mbale (about 2hours away) but we didn't make it. A couple days ago we heard that the main road was closed because the bridge was underwater. Since then we have gotten more rain and this morning we heard the other way to Mbale was now closed too because the bridge went out. So we waited a couple hours then Josh went to town to hear the lastest word at the taxi park. Town was full of trucks that couldn't pass but the taxis said they could get through. We all packed up and headed out. 72 Kilometers and two hours of bumpy road later and we were right back where we started in Soroti. There were trucks everywhere - some of them stuck - and no way even to get to the bridge let alone accoss.

So the team regrouped at our house. Our kids and some of us were quite bummed but what could we do. Some wanted to try again tomorrow but most of us were worried about crossing but then not getting back home in a couple days. After some talk and prayer, we decided to have a fun, relaxed day today and then tomorrow have our spiritual retreat. We called our speakers to cancel (we were really bummed not to get our teaching on Father's Heart), canceled our nice hotel and call the resturant in Soroti to make supper since none of us had anything to cook nor wanted to.

So we are asking for your prayers as our plans have changed. The kids will being having a fun day with our teammates Beckie and Karen while the adults meet. We are going to do a video serious on prayer by Louis Gigilio.

I'll update you all again this weekend.
