Election time in Uganda

These are the people of Uganda. They are gentle, fun-loving, kind-hearted people who love their families and their country. They have been ruled by one president for the past 25 years. This Friday is election day for president, members of parliament as well as local offices. Elections in Africa are not always a pretty thing. Please pray for the people of Uganda as they go to the polls that the process is fair, safe and free of any violence.

Most schools, a lot of businesses as well as the CoG office will be closed a few days before voting until a few days after. Just for precaution sake, Janet, Cassidy, Meagan and Holly will get a short vacation in Tanzania....Zanzabar to be exact. I will hunker down at the CoG compound.

THE PEOPLE OF THIS BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY NEED ALL OUR PRAYERS RIGHT NOW

Those boys....excuse me, Men

Phillip and Andrew from a proud papa.................

Phillip was here in Uganda for about a month...left for Rwanda a few weeks ago.

Andrew's first visit to Africa was a short 1 month...he returned to San Diego this past week

Both had experiences that will be a 'marker' in their lives....changes for the good I'm sure!

For me....well I can only say the time with those boys showed me the men they have become

They are at two completely difference places in their life journies right now...but to see the love they shared for their mom....sisters.....and yes even this one.....it was truly a time to cherish.

Andrew and Phillip....I love you dearly and miss ya much already!
