The Davii return to the hill...: Crafts and Friends

Friends of Jamie's, Frank and Amber Devine (originally from Medicine Hat, now residing in Vancouver), have been serving here in Uganda since January and are now headed back home. We made sure to catch up with them before they left and had some great times together exploring some more of the city and swapping stories and experiences. It is such an encouragement to get together with like-minded people and talk about things that matter, and just as good to get together with people who are from the same area as you and just talk about nothing at all and have a good laugh. Frank and Amber were great for both those things and we feel completely recharged after hearing of so many similar happenings from their work in Mbale. God is doing great work through so many great people… it’s cool we get to be a part of it all.

Unfortunately, their last day in Mbale was a very trying time for the two of them – on the trip down to meet us they had most all of their important papers and travel documents lifted. So some of our time was spent scurrying around to the Canadian Consulate or having meetings with various important people trying to salvage what was possible of their last days in the country. They should have an update on their site of how things ended up working out, but we’re just glad we were able to help in any way we could during a tough one.
