Todays Trip to Kampala

What a long exhausting, dusty trip!

We left at 7 am. Our first stop was leaving the car with the mechanic for a scheduled oil change.
Ernest picked us up from there and we went straight to Immigration.
There we started yet another hunt for Randys work permit.
We went straight to the supervisor and he said I am late for a meeting just go to room 2. I said so you found it? He said just go to room 2. I felt like we were getting the ultimate brush off, but headed straight to room 2 and they had no idea why I was there, because of course they did not have his permit.

I then went to the next room, talked to a man there, explained the whole thing yet again, (keep in mind everytime you go to a different room you wait in line forever). This man actually FOUND, yes I said FOUND Randys work permit. It was missing the NGO cert so it was sitting in deferred room. Where I suspected it was all along, and a couple different people have looked for it there. This man said because it was not him looking. Now it should be processed within a week or 2.
Praise the Lord!!!

Then we went to pick up the car because then it was already noon.

We have some volunteers coming in February from the UK and they are interested in Prison Ministry. So we headed to the head of prisons to get permission to enter the Mityana Prisons. Oh what a day. We searched for this Ministry for 2 hours. Ernest then called in the middle of our hunt and was asking what kind of tires we were wanting for the van as he had found some at a reasonable price. I was almost in tears and told him forget tires. Please help us get to where we are supposed to be. He met us and had me to where I needed to be in 10 minutes!!!

I had a whole file ready for this woman. She said ohhh You have given me much. But i will choose what I need. She also needs passport size photos of everyone wanting to enter into the prisons for her records, and copies of driving license. We will talk that next Friday on our scheduled trip to Kampala.

Ernest then wanted us to look at these tires, so we did that, told him we do not have the money at this time, but yes those look good.

We hit traffic jam after traffic jam today, and finally arrived home around 5:30pm what a long hot day!
But once again full of many blessings! Thank you Lord!
