We finally arrived in Africa at 8am this morning (Uganda time). We were picked up at the airport by the Greers (Adam and Betsy and their kids). We loaded our luggage and headed to Kampala. Kampala is the capitol of Uganda. There we picked up some medicine for one of the children in the orphanage. We then headed to Jinga the town that Good Shepherd's fold is located in. We stopped at a market and the Ugandans brought vegetables, fruits and chicken on a stick up to our windows. Adam bought some fruit and we headed into GSF. At the gates of GSF we were greeted by singing and dancing children. They were so sweet and happy to see us! We unpacked and then took a tour of the compound. We had some time to meet some of the orphans, workers and school kids. We had a wonderful dinner with the missionaries and some of the other workers. We are all tired but excited to be here in Uganda!! Tomorrow we start our eye clinic. We so happy to be here!!!!!
PS: We are having technical difficulties trying to upload pictures. We will try to upload more pictures tomorrow!!
