After a long journey, a team of our brothers and sisters in Christ - men, women and children from West Texas - have arrived in the east Africa nation of Uganda for Christian mission. The 2009 Uganda Mission Team from First Presbyterian Church of Midland will be sending back regular reports from Uganda, along with photos.

We have arrived safely at our "home away from home" - Mt. Elgon Hotel in Mbale. Morris and Aidah Ogenga picked us up in Entebbe last night. All but one bag arrived on time - pretty good considering we were traveling with 58 bags each weighting at least 50 lbs. each - and the missing bag arrived promptly this morning! As is the tradition, we ate at Ling Ling's for lunch in the town of Jinga located near the headwaters of the
Nile on our way to Mbale. It is always fun eating Chinese food in Africa.
Thank you for all your prayers. Please keep the team in your thoughts and prayers as we begin our week. We will try and send updates each evening.
