Friends Who Are Like Family Part 1

We still have nearly 3 weeks before we leave, but folks are making sure that they have a chance to gather together to wish us well, ask questions about what we think life will be like, and pray over us. I have been touched by these "wish you well" gatherings on a very deep level. Two of the gatherings were this week, and we now officially feel beyond loved by my friends. On Sunday afternoon (after being commissioned in church) there was a BBQ with our Small Group. Our host and hostess went above and beyond in terms of decking their house with all things Ugandan. We enjoyed food, fellowship, and a sweet time of prayer.
Friends. We will miss them for a season.
