Dec. 31 - Meet Fortunate, Rita and Elizabeth

 Ministry Partners,

Well, leaving Uganda ended on a very high note for sure.

We stopped just before getting to the airport for dinner, Alfred's treat, and to just rest and visit before actually entering the airport.

I stopped at a stall selling souvenirs just as I entered the airport to purchase one of those neck pillows for me to sit on. I have an orthopedic seat but figured some extra foam to sit on would help. As I was browsing Alfred stopped to "bargain" for my pillow with the two shopkeepers , Fortunate & Rita, that were there. He called me over and said they wanted to hear about Jesus. I then had the wonderful opportunity to share Christ with them and hear them ask Jesus to be their Savior.   

 

Fortunate, Arlene, Rita

 

      Elizabeth & Arlene

 Aaron was waiting for us just outside the shop so when we went to sit with him, I sat next to a darling young woman, Elizabeth, who told me she would like to know more about Jesus which I was so glad to tell her and hear her respond to the free gift of salvation Jesus offered her. So, in the space of 30 minutes three more souls were added to the Lamb's Book of Life.

WHAT A GREAT WAY TO END MY TIME IN UGANDA!

 I arrived safely in Amsterdam with no cold symptoms and am settled in the "handicap lounge. I have about a 2 hour wait until they come to take me to my gate. Could not rest much on the plane as my hip is cranky. the lady who sat next to me on the plane with 2 children did not speak English and made it clear she did not want to try any conversation. Maybe on this next leg I will have someone to chat with. I am finally ready to be home and Lord willing  will be there by 1am today. 

Thanks for the continuing prayers.

That none would be lost,

Arlene
