You Must See Keinanen's Video Report on Uganda

For the last time concerning our time in Uganda, Greetings.

We would like to give you a quick update. We have been back home from Uganda for 17 days. In those 17 days we have often asked ourselves if we had even gone to Africa. It seemed like such a blur to us. We still find it very hard to express what we experienced. There are no words that will serve justice. Often we have found ourselves 'speechless.' People have come up to us and asked us how our trip was. We give them this blank smile, as if searching for a word, but can't find it. Pastor Jonathan has described it best in this way: It is like asking a married couple how 'married' life is, at the reception of their wedding. Our trip was great!, but I do not now why - it just was! To me that speaks great volume to God's greatness. He does things that we cannot describe. So we must go out and experience that ourselves. Kelly and I are glad we had that opporunity. For those that have been on short term missions, you know what I am talking about.

Again, thank you for your prayers. We are getting back up to 100% healthy again. I was sick with some digestive problems, flu-like symptoms, and head-aches. Kelly has been unable to sleep. We think that is due to her malaria medication. We only have one more week of that.

If you have 15 minutes in your day, and you would like to get somewhat of an idea of what we did over there, check out this video: www.makikalem.net/uganda/Uganda_overview.WMV. I trust you will enjoy it! We look forward to sharing more personal stories as time goes on.

Thanks again for partnering with us!

Daniel & for Kelly too
