We have only been here half a year but the Ugandans have filled our hearts completely. Photo taken six months ago, we look about the same but the changes are on the inside  Feb 9-March 2 We have passed our six months mark. Things have been a little crazy lately and we are behind in our blog so this will be a compilation of our activities. A New Career? Sister Kaiser pouring Maize into the grinder. Flour trapped and put into Gerry cans Refilling the customers bag. Who needs to retire when there is still so much work to be done.  We went to Brandon and Delwin's grain mill to visit and see how things work.  Soon Delwin had Sister Kaiser working along side her and eventually Elder Kaiser was also put to work.  The grain is poured into a machine that grinds it into flour. The flour is sent through a tube overhead, the flour is trapped in a large bag.  The bag of flour then gets emptied into jerry cans that are cut at the top for full access. Then finally put back int...

Who Can Glory Too Much In The Lord? February 1 - 8, 2026 Reagan Ocot, Sunday Okwera, Robinson Odoch "Yea, [men] whose heart[s] did swell with thanksgiving to [their] God, for the many privileges and blessings which He bestowed upon His people...Yea, and [they were] men who [were] firm in the faith of Christ." Alma 48:12-13 Sometimes you just hit a jackpot of people you really enjoy seeing and spending time with every time you are in their company.  You feel that being around them is a blessing in your life, they elevate the day in a measurement of J O Y!   That is how we feel about the members of the Church of Jesus Christ in Uganda.  We keep finding that their faith and love of the Savior is why we love them so so much.  They are not perfect, no one is. The Lord looks upon the heart and that is where He has directed our spiritual eyes.   We are so grateful.  It is a blessing to be among such devoted followers of Jesus Christ each day.  Here ...

The Gospel Shall Roll Forth   January 25-31, 2026 Elder Kaiser misses riding his bike, but helping little people ride their bikes  is a pretty good substitute. We were happy to return to church after doing home church last week.  We went to Lacor Ward and were welcomed by our friends there.  After sacrament meeting Sister Kaiser started to go to Primary but was told that she was needed in the Relief Society room where she was asked to teach the lesson.  Since we had been studying conference talks from the May 2025 Liahona  during the "lock down" she chose, "By This All Will Know That You Are My Disciples," by Dieter F Uchtdorf, to share with the sisters.  Elder Kaiser was asked to teach Elder's Quorum.  He was given the topic of being a worthy father.  So he turned to "The Family: A Proclamation to the World" for his lesson.  Both teachers felt their "shoot from the hip" lessons went well.   "Think Celestial"   Russell M ...

It is hot in Gulu City! Normal Life in Gulu and Political Disruption  Monday, January 5 - Tuesday, January 20, 2026 We have enjoyed some visits with new people and are trying to not think too much about the heat during the dry season. We've had some successes with both. It usually gets up to around 96 degrees Fahrenheit/35.5 Celsius.   Going on walks in our neighborhood in the evenings has led us to meet some very nice people. In PART 2 of this blog you will see that we found a good routine with the political disruption in Uganda.   This is a long blog.                 Our apologies.   P A R T 1: N O R M A L   S E N I O R   C O U P L E   M I S S I O N A R Y   D A Y S A member, Roy, has been asking to take us to visit some people, we have a truck and he has the list of people to visit.  He was not really clear about who we would visit or how muc...
