I just wanted to give you all the link again for pictures. I also have another link as I had to make a new album because Facebook limits the size of each to 60 pictures.
Today we drove into the bush using the e3 Partner's lorry to get bamboo for my fence that will encircle the compound. A fence like this would cost a fortune in the U.S. but is very cheap here. It will be good to get the fence up as we are getting even more expensive equipment delivered within the month.
Also on the good news front, David met with a bishop yesterday that wants to contract Water Harvest International to drill some water wells. I'm praying that the rest of the required equipment arrives as fast as possible so we will be able to get these contracts!
Well, I'm headed to Kampala early tomorrow morning so I better go get packed. I'll update my blog after I get back.
Thanks for all the encouraging comments comments on my blog and I hope you enjoy the pictures!

Malaria: The Sequel
So I was driving David's mom to the clinic on Saturday for a checkup when I started to feel sick. I got checked at the clinic and tested positive for malaria again. The good news is I caught it early and got on treatment right away. The bad news is... well...that I have malaria again. By Sunday afternoon I was pretty much over the malaria which was really quick! Unfortunately, the malaria shot my immune system and I got a parasite also. Since Monday I've been having stomach pain and I've had to stay near the latrine. I'm now on Cipro and Metro and have started to feel better today.
I felt good enough today at least to get out of the house and go check on the progress of my compound. A lot has been done in the last few days! My latrine is almost dug to it's target depth of 5 meters and the walls of my house should be done within the week.
Also on the good news front, my truck has finally arrived in Kampala. David and I are planning on flying down there this next weekend and staying for about a week and driving back with the truck. I'm thinking I may take a few days for some much needed R&R.
I would like to end this post with a passage from 2 Corinthians 12:9-10:
9But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me. 10That is why, for Christ's sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.
Thank you all for your prayers!
