We had a really lovely three weeks in
Uganda with our dear friends Micah and Betsy DeKorne and their sweet family. We
ate really well, and it was refreshing to be around kids a lot because you just
can’t take everything seriously with kids! They say the funniest things!
We were, of course, doing work from a
distance while we were with them, but we did take some time to have fun, such
as Mark’s camping trip to the gate of the Rwenzori Mountains! (He just posted
on that below)
I, Karen, spent a week at a conference in
Kampala that I had attended last year. This year, we went with the whole Seed
team to the Great Lakes Initiative Leadership Institute on Reconciliation. It
was again a great experience, and I really enjoyed participating with the
Seeders and not being in charge! A highlight for me was meeting an internet
acquaintance and hearing a testimony about an organization I’ve come to admire
– the Congo Initiative, part of which is the Universite Chretienne Bilingue du
Congo (UCBC – Christian Bilingual University of Congo). They’re doing great
things in a difficult area.
Nonetheless, it was good to come back to
Bukavu and to our home. The weather here is SOOO wonderful! Not hot, just a bit
cool at night, some rain but not too much… We did really miss playing Frisbee
when we were gone to Uganda! Our team here is really great.
