[sorry it has taken us a few days to get internet access...]
after 2 1/2 long days of travel (including a 12 person plane from entebbe to gulu -- quote from our pilot: "there are cows on the runway sometimes, so i may have to circle around again..") we made it to GULU!
it has been amazing so far. the people are so gracious and their hearts are so full of love and joy. we are walking alongside the missionaries and staff here doing all different kinds of ministry. i think our favorite so far is some time spent at the home of love orphanage last night...we all wanted to take those kids home with us! we've also been doing home visitations and helping in specific ministries to women/men/kids with HIV, child soldiers, child mothers, etc. their stories are hard but their hope is unreal.
our water and power at our hotel go in and out, so most of us our very unshowered and thankful for deoderant :) and we're learning to love rice and beans and bananas!!
thank you for your prayers and continued support. we hope to update once more from here...then sunday, it's off to kenya!!

How exciting, guys, to hear the joy coming through your words on the website. Katie and I are proud to be following your steps via the internet and will continue to pray for safety, joy, a powerful sense of the Spirit's presence and for the Lord to reveal to each one of you why he has you there. Tell Trammel that he will have scores of emails waiting in his inbox from The Captain when he returns!
God bless... see you soon!
Richard and Katie Cowan
