On Basiime Godfrey: Just heard that the doctor is very kindly arranging to get him from his University to the hospital in Kampala (Mengo) tomorrow, which is no small feat, it is about an hour's drive. We assume this means he's on the surgical schedule. We are now trying to figure out if we need to mobilize someone to go care for him post-op, since in Uganda much of the nursing care is performed by family members (he says no, but we are not sure). Please pray for him as a boy out of his element, newly enrolled in college, missing classes, going to an unfamiliar hospital alone. Thank God for Dr. Bonner who is going to such trouble to save Godfrey's vision.
On life in general: Holding on. Good moments today, a rooster and a sack of potatoes and onions and tomatoes and bananas and sugar cane and great thanks from Baluku's family as he heads off to school; greetings from Ammon and his family as he does the same. Trying to focus on immediate issues but pulled again in too many directions, and waiting for sufficient grace.

Hi Jennifer and Scott. I will keep praying so hard for good news for Luke and am sorry to hear he is in pain. I'm sure your nerves are quite on edge as you await final news on the next step. I'm so happy to hear that Basiime is hopefully going to have surgery soon and will be praying for a great outcome, peace for Basiime, and good post-op care. Praying for grace for the huge number of issues tugging at your heart strings - With love, Cindy
all this reminds me of the time that Scott flew with Paul and Matt and me to Kampala to get an xray of his elbow. Remember? I can only magnify how that felt, with you being a country away. Thankfully, he has access to competent care. Who can figure out the whys of things like this?
praying with you,
Lynn
