Yesterday we began the day starting on African Time. We are learning a new phrase "setting the climate". That is waiting for people to show up, greeting each other, arranging the "program" and all kinds of pre-task work. Sometimes it is hard to be patient waiting for the temperature to be right! Once the meeting began we were all seated in a traditional hut. There were representatives from both Ugandan churches, the diocese, CRWRC, and PIH - at least 15 people present. We began a draft document and all partners seem satisfied and eager to begin working together. We will share the details at home. At the end of the day we went tiredly to the hotel where Julie was approached by a waiter to see if she wanted to buy a monkey! Today we laid low in Lira, did some shopping, and tried to get internet. We did have some driving adventures and everyone is safe and the truck is in tact.. Tomorrow we go to Boro Boro for church where Pieter gets to preach twice - once in English and once in Lango. From there we become tourists and head to Murchison Falls. On the way we hope to stop at Gulu which in the past was hit hard by the rebel activity.
