Thank you for your prayer cover as we made our trip back from Jinja, Uganda to Minneapolis, USA. The trip went very well, although Hannah had a rough time dealing with motion sickness. We were the ones on the plane with the screaming baby that everyone dreads sitting near. We made all our connections and came out with all our bags - a huge blessing!
It has been so great to be back in the U.S. and to see our families. Rhoda's family gave us a royal welcome when we arrived at the airport at midnight on Monday. We visited my parents and brother Andy who are back from Brazil and my brother Ben who is back for the summer from Tanzania.
The boys have been adjusting very quickly to their new culture. Everything is new and exciting for them. It is fun to watch their little minds process what they've been through. As we were driving away from the airport, Judah said, "Where was America? I didn't see it!" And as we were going to visit Grandpa and Grandma Jore, he asked, "Is Grandpa Jore an African?" The boys were amazed to find out they didn't have to sleep under mosquito nets. "Aren't there any mosquitoes in America?"
We have a couple of weeks of settling in and resting up before we begin visiting churches in August. AFLC World Missions has provided us with a mini-van that is perfect for our family. We are staying in a basement apartment at Rhoda's parent's place. They had it all fixed up for us and we are really enjoying our new home.
We feel very blessed and look forward to this next leg of our journey. Please remember the training in Uganda which is continuing every Saturday and Monday.
"Praise the Lord. Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good; His mercies endure forever" (Psalm 106:1)
