41 days and counting down

 Father's Day on Lockdown and an update

Mark talking on the phone to Titus for Father's Day

Today feels like a reprieve as we rest and enjoy Father's Day.  As tomorrow will be the first working day after the announcement of complete lockdown, it will probably be busy with finding out what all this means, and how we will function for the next 6 weeks.  There will be decisions to be made and questions still left unanswered, but for now we rest, knowing there is nothing we can do or should do today but rest.  We have heard that the Covid task force in our district is meeting today and will have some directives for us in the coming days, but for now we rest.   I believe tomorrow some of the dust will settle so we just sit in the haze hoping tomorrow will be clearer.  

Earlier last week, I asked Mark if he wanted to go somewhere in our district for Father's Day since we couldn't go to Jinja due to the previous restrictions.  Fortunately he had said "no" - sine we could not have gone anywhere anyway.  So we made a big breakfast here and enjoyed watching a sermon of his choice.

Caralina and Rebecca are both here.  Caralina stayed for the summer hoping to spend more time in Jinja with missionary kids there and work on her online classes. So for now she is here at GSF working on classes.  When the first restrictions came out, Rebecca decided to come out here to sew and do projects from here.  We also have two interns staying on campus for the summer.  They and our two girls have been a blessing to have around.  

How to pray:

• Pray for Uganda's government leaders including our Buikwe District for wisdom and unity.
• Pray for clarity and unity tomorrow.
• Pray that each of us will know our role and what God has for us during this 6 weeks.
• Pray that we will know how to reach out to our community.

Thank you for praying for us and keeping up with Uganda and Good Shepherd's Fold.
