My Dear Friends: Believe it or not, I have not had the opportunity to use a blog before, so I hope this is the right way to do it, and that you will get this message! It's hard to teach an old dog new tricks, but I'm learning, and will get it eventually! I am back into the routine of things, working full-time and being a mom, trying to fit in all the details of my life, and dreaming of Africa. I am finding that it's hard to answer the question "How was your trip?" with much clarity or accuracy, and even the people who are really interested can't quite get it. I know it's unfair to expect them to understand unless they've been there. I do have a friend who is actually my son's pastor in New York who has gone to Uganda - Gulu - a few times before, and actually left for another missions trip to Lira this time on the 9th. He and his team focus mostly on clean water systems, and have gone to Lira this time to learn more about that. I gave him Ed and Sue's number there, and hope they will be able to connect. I can't wait to talk with him when he returns! I also have a friend here who is a counseling psychologist and specializes in emotional trauma who goes to my church who I will be meeting with next week. She is very interested in our work in Uganda, and is praying about possible ministry with COTN on a short-term trip next year. It will be neat to talk with her and see how God leads in the future. I hope you are all well, rested from the trip, and rejoicing in all God has blessed us with on the trip. Sonja, I hope you are back safe and sound, and that you enjoyed your time with your friend. It was a blessing and privilege to have served with all of you - you each blessed me in many ways, and I am a better person for having known you and shared this wonderful experience with you. I send you my love and prayers for God's richest blessings - and that we would never be content with just "$3 worth of God"!
Love, Nancy
