August 21st - A day with friends

Having slept quite well, we talked to a few families who lived near
the hotel, talked amongst ourselves, and relaxed for a while.

Deborah, a lady who works at the guest house, prepared a meal for us,
and we ate some.

Bonny's fiancee, Goretti, arrived and Levi and I went with her to her
house riding on the back of three bicycles for 500sh ($0.19) each.

At her house, we ate breakfast prepared by Goretti, casava, a whole
talapia fish, and instant coffee.

Having met her four kids and her niece, we all prayed for each other
and then walked to where Bonny had found a car.

We rode in the town car, which was carrying 11 people total, to
Apapia, the village of Goretti's parents.

There were many agricultural crops in the village, casava, sweet
potatoes, orange trees, peanuts... We prayed for Goretti's mother, who
was sick, and we talked with Bonny and Goretti about their vision to
grow rice on some of their unused land.

The town car returned and took us back to Soroti, with another full
load of people.

Levi and Bonny talked with a few people in the car about the gospel.
David, a man in the back,
gave his heart to Jesus. A Jehovah's witness and a follower of William
Branham tried to start a theological debate after we presented the
gospel to them. They ended up debating with each other quite
fervently.

When we got to town, we split up. Bonny and I retrieved the luggage
and checked out of our rooms, while Goretti and Levi checked for bus
tickets and stopped at the bank.

The buses were sold out, so we boarded a matatu to Mbale with Bonny,
saying goodbye to Goretti.

A girl named Anna ended up getting healed of shoulder pain on the
matatu. And the gospel was presented to the entire van. We also prayed
for Mary, a lady with Kidney problems, for a man with a recurring
toothache, for a young boy sick with measels, and for a boy with a
skin fungus on his head.

Once in Mbale, we caught another matatu to Kampala. We slept quite a
bit on this one.

Arriving in Kampala around 10:30pm, we checked into a hotel for 30000sh ($13).

We prayed together and called it a night.

We plan to be off to Hoima in the morning!


Bonny shared a prayer request that the church would have a renewed
passion for God, not being lukewarm. Pray with us also for the
ministry in Hoima on Wednesday.

God bless you all!
