I just realized how long it has been since I posted anything. The last one I typed my internet (in Kampala) time ran out just as I was posting it and it was gone. Just like that!!!!!! Computers!!!!!! You never know!!!!!!

We are having problems with email, it only works maybe a day a week. And only during certain hours. It was very difficult when Craig and I were here alone, but it really isn't any different now that the Tricaricos and Chrissie are back. It still doesn't work!!!!!!! It took 2 weeks for emails to get through!! I guess there are plans in the works for internet, satellite dish, but it is so far out of our budget that we try not to even think about getting it as we just can't afford it.

Beans, beans, beans!!!!! We have beans!!!!! alot of them. Praise the Lord for His provisions!!!! Now we just need to get them out of the fields and dried and bagged!!!!!! And the "night raiders" have not been successful in their endeavors to help themselves!!!!! Craig posted guards in the fields with bow, arrows and whistles!! We had a visit last night but they were scarred away!!! Lets just hope that this will keep them away for a while longer!

The World Food Program is in the area and all of the workers had to leave early so they could get their food. Another free program that has been misused and abused. Most of the people who get it are the ones who have jobs and can afford food, and others sell their food and use the money to buy alcohol and their children don't have anything to eat. Sad!!! so for the next few weeks on market day most all the food available will be WFP food. And there will be alot of drunk people around!!!

Saw an old employee of the clinic today. He greeted very warmly and introduced me to his "new wife". While he worked for the clinic, he had a wife and five children, and was the translator for the church and a member. Today he said" I have freedom in my life, I have a new wife, a new job, and I am happy"!!! The other wife lives in another town with the children!!!! When you become a member of the church you are asked not to take any more wives, so if you are married to two, we wouldn't make you divorce one, just ask not to take more. I don't think this man will stay a member for very much longer.

Speaking of the clinic, we are now down to one nurse, as the clinical officer took a high paying job in Zambia this weekend. We are possibly going to close while we find new staff. The district is interviewing all levels of staff and it is likely that we could find some one fast, but in a month they would leave for a district job....you know....low pay...and you don't have to actually work or show up for the job in order to get a check....but the checks only come about every 4-5 months. But that is ok cause you don't have to work during that time anyway!!!!!!!! This place is so in need of the Word!!!!!!! But I know God will provide, in His own timing!!!!!

Keep praying for us!!!! We are praying for you and would like to hear from you all!!!!
