Only We're not in Honduras!!

We began the second phase of our travels last Monday, traveling from DFW to London, meeting Alex who was on a different flight and Melissa's niece Rebecca, who just moved to the UK.

We spent a pleasant day in the town of Marlow:


And then got on another overnight flight (two red-eyes in two days...not recommended!) arriving in Uganda on Wednesday morning, very tired.

After a much appreciated nap, we met with the Epiphany Mission team who has already been serving in Uganda for a week.

We went to the Chain Foundation, an orphanage for blind and sighted children. The parish made lots of dresses for the children--here is one being proudly worn!!


The team painted a new pottery center building--a great medium that can be used by both blind and sighted children. Here is the pottery teacher giving Marissa Aten pointers.


We sponsor a young man named John, who Melissa met for the first time.


Then after a good night's sleep, we left early Thursday morning for Bwindi in southwest Uganda. We crossed the Equator, Melissa for the first time in the Southern Hemisphere:


And with the entire team:


Another long trip, but new adventures await!!
