We are hitting the ground running today.
SO much to do.
I'm sure some people wonder what takes so long.
Here's a synopsis of the day:
Copies are needed.
Lawyers offices don't always have copiers.
So we hunt for a copier.
There are no Office Depot's.
We hunt.
And it must be a color copier.
Stopping at a few places.
No, there is only a black and white one.
Finally we hear of one!
It is down a crazy street.
In a warehouse type building.
At the very back in a little tiny room.
The paper isn't normal copy paper.
George negotiates a price for the copies.
Really, it would make you smile.
I tried major hotels.
Nope, no color copier.
Then we needed some photos printed.
I had forgotten to bring a flash drive.
Note to self: Never leave home without a flash drive.
Tiny little instrument.
We drove for about 20 minutes and then walked for about for a long time to hunt for one.
Across streets that are filled with people, motorcycles carrying people and vans of people.
Women walking with baskets piled high on their head.
Then we had to find a photo shop that would print.
And no one, and I mean no one is in a hurry.
Ever.
Not even for a second.
Each task seems daunting.
It takes almost all day.
I love Kampala and I love Uganda.
But next time I'm gonna' see if I can squeeze a color copier into my suitcase.
It might work

YOu can print photos at the Nakumatt side of Garden City, on the top floor... they have a machine with a card reader, flash drive ports and others. Hope that helps. I don't know about a color copier though.
Sounds like your on The Amazing Race show :)
This has me giggling! Only because I can picture all of it... because even buying shoes in Kampala is a life risking experience! Praying you through all of it!
Sounds like fun times. It will all be worth it so soon when your sweet girls are home. I cannot wait until you are flying home with your girls!!
When those girls are in your arms surrounded by their family all of this will be a distant memory.

How often I forget the blessings of our society. Amazing we get impatient with a slow internet connection!
Blessings on you today!
Praying for you through all the tedious, time-consuming details!
♥ to you & Emma from me!
Justin had a similar story at one point! Only God can get these babes home, amen? Praying!
He he he....go for it. I am sure the people checking the luggage may be confused a bit :)
WELCOME RUBY GRACE!!!!! Can't wait until you are HOME!!!
We have friends at African Bible College in Kampala that could help with copiers and such if you need it. I can connect you by email.
Praying, sweet friend!
Just up the street from the court house in Kampala is a copy place that makes color copies, and fairly reasonable. I think it's in the building just next door to the court house.
