Bota Botas, Boats, and More!

Received at around midnight last night:

Ema drove fourteen of us to Jinja on a three hour bone jolting drive on very rough roads. We then we're carried by a very strong man and put into a large canoe so that none us would get wet. What an experience. You should have seen him carry Bill! We took an hour boat trip to remote Buvuma Island and got carried again to the shore. We hopped on bota botas and drove to the new christian school that Daybreak Church funded. The only school on the island of seventeen thousand people. We were greeted with love and gratitude by all the parents and kids. It was very emotional as we dedicated the school. We took tons of video.

The kids put on a great performance with songs and dances. Very inspiring! Without Daybreak Church there would be no opportunity for these kids at all. We went back to the lake and carried to boat. We had late lunch at Jinja and then drove over four hours back. Total exhaustion last night. Nancy preached at street crusade after that totally tiring day. She is awesome.
