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.

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...
