The day was a blur for many of us:
Carrying our luggage through Heathrow and the Tube took some creativity. We are all carrying some pretty random (and heavy) supplies that we will leave here. My bag, for example, has two full toilet seats in there along with my clothes!
Anyway, our brief time in London was great. We had a little bit of time to see the sights…
Tom, Teresa, and Big Ben:
Westminster Abby:
Buckingham Palace. (You can’t tell in this picture, but the royal flag was being flown—the queen was in!)
This is me, your friendly blogger, posing for the classic tourist-in-London shot:
We then spent some time with Mike Morris, reflecting on the Spirit of Empire that drove Great Britain to colonize, oppress, and dominate places like Uganda. Mike has been involved in a world-wide movement in which representatives of former colonial powers repent on behalf of their forefathers to former colonized people groups around the globe.
Our arrival in Entebbe this morning was fantastic! We were met by the Come Let’s Dance team, whose joyous welcome made us feel like we were long-lost family finally arriving home.
After lots of greetings and introductions, our luggage was loaded into a truck…
...and we were loaded into a bus and off to Kampala (about an hour’s drive).
As I finish this up (I am drafting here in the Guest House and will post to Blogger when I have internet), the team is out in the living room worshipping with our new friends from Come Let’s Dance. I wish I could upload sound! At the moment they are learning to sing “God is so Good” in Luganda and the harmonies are spectacular. I have goosebumps!
So, thank you for your prayers, and praise God for his faithfulness! Talk to you soon…
