Diepersloots are in Africa!!

Hello All!

We made it here to Jinja, Uganda after leaving Wednesday night and arriving on Sunday at about 3pm.  It was a  looooonnng journey.  But we are here now and loving it.  We have been here just about 24 hours now.  I have been typing for the website, but I don't have time to update the blog right now.  I just wanted to let you all know that we are here safe and sound.

 

first impressions...

    the smells...smoke and diesel

    the people....so friendly with huge smiles (and they play soccer often which is a big plus)

    the land...beautiful...green...a little cooler than kona and not as humid.

    the food...great...cooked bananas are really good.  lots of carbs in the diet.

 

Well, I will update the website soon and give you more details.  Keep praying for us as we catch up on sleep and get settled in.  We switched time zones by exactly 12 hours, so we are pretty messed up on sleep. jonny keeps waking up in the middle of the night ready to go play.

 

love you all tons.

thanks for the prayers.

 

love, dave, ruth, jess, jon
