Prince George, BC. Most beautiful place on earth. "Oh for a thousand tongues to sing my great Redeemer's praise! The glories of my God and King, the triumphs of His grace!"

The city of Kuala Lumpur has been just absolutely beautiful. The people are extremely hospitable, and the architecture is extraordinary. We were blessed with friends in town with Ken and Marinah has become a dear friend. We were allowed to route a mosque and we're even able to see a local wedding while we were there! There are many royalty here, with a king over every province. Apparently there are 9 provinces, and each king takes a turn being the main king every two years. You can see we have to fight royalty for parking spots. ;)

I'm now in Malaysia! It is a beautiful country. The wealth here in Kuala Lumpur is incredible. But just outside the city is unbelievable squalor as well.

The first picture shows our ending celebration at the church that was planted in Kasambia! We had a few leftover Bibles that we were able to give to the pastor. :) I preached out of Exodus 17 on how Joshua fought the Amalekites and Aaron had to hold up Moses' arms. We followed the sermon with communion. Best. Ever. White bread + soda. . . Haha Then went on to the equator.

Robert (seated next to me in the selfie) and his wife opened their home and let us stay for 2 hours. Robert shared his testimony of how God had saved him from alcoholism almost 2 years ago. This was a blessing. I was late to catch my bus back to Mubende and had to run through the hills to the next village…

Wow. I don’t know what else to say. Just wow. God has blessed me so much this week. I will post updates as I catch wifi… But the thing about third world countries is that wifi doesn’t happen too often. God has done great things this week!

Our hotel from the first night in Entebbe. We have a couple more coming in today and then will head out to Mubende! Had a great time of fellowship over breakfast with John and Ronald. Pray the rest of our team arrives safely.

Thanks, I'll update this occasionally leading up to our departure. I leave on October 1, and will be in Uganda for about 11 days. I have been praying about travelling to Uganda for over a year now, and am so excited to see what God has in store for me.
