We have been called to serve in the Uganda Kampala Mission as Welfare Services Missionaries for a period of 18 months. Well, after two mission call changes and two months of visa waiting, we are finally going to be starting our mission in Africa. We fly out of Salt Lake City on Wednesday, June 24, 2015. First stop, Amsterdam, then on to Kampala.

Amazing bike loads! and others
| Someone carrying baskets! |
| Walking his overloaded bike. |
| A heavy load of re-bar!! |
| This will be tricky to sit and pedal! |
| Bike shop we pass every Sunday on our way to church. |
| Going to get water in jerry cans |
| On our way to Njeru we ran into stopped traffic, I guess for an accident. Finally when taxis started turning around, we turned around too & went to church in Seeta! Nicest chapel in Uganda! |
| No riding for this heavy load of firewood and charcoal! |
| More jerry cans and bags going for delivery. |
| We saw this cow as we went to church and as we came back after church he had gone in his house and sat down! |
