Brrr

It's finally above zero here, and very sunny...perfect weather to be flying to Uganda, huh? My friend Chrissie left early this morning and tomorrow night (US time) should arrive at the Entebbe airport, where it's been in 100s I think. It hasn't quite sunk in yet that she's going to be there for a year (helping teach), but I'm glad she got off all right!

I forgot to share the news I heard from Kris last Thursday. She says she and Craig are really enjoying their new Land Cruiser - it's nice to have a vehicle that they can actually fit all their supplies (and more than a couple people) in!

She also shared a prayer request. Things didn't go so well with handling the meningitis epidemic; the clinic wasn't allowed enough vaccinations to really get the job done, so there's still some danger of it happening again.

We finished the vaccine campaign today. It was a big disappointment, with only 2500 to 2800 getting shots. There should have been at least twice that number. This means we could have another epidemic on our hands in a few months. So pray for that and being able to quickly attack it if it happens again, not waiting 8 weeks.

Also, if you think of it, please pray for the Ugandan elections coming up on the 23rd. And here's a somewhat humorous article about the silent canidates.
