Be in prayer about this, prayer warriors! We have been offered a piece of land exactly where we are planning to begin that has been measured at 100 acres! I have a local scout checking out that property this weekend. If a westerner showed up, the price would quickly multiply, so a friend will check it first and report back to me. The asking price is 3 million ($857) per acre, but my scout thinks he can get them down to 2 million ($571) per acre. If that was the case we could be looking getting 100 acres for just‘$57,142.

Our mission support does not yet equal that amount, so pray God opens the floodgates of blessing in our direction so we can start with the projects He has called us to do.

We've finally sold our house, our airline tickets are purchased, the Covid tests are resulted, and the visa applications are approved. This time both of us will be going. We leave tomorrow (Sunday, 16 January 2022). This brief, two-week trip will be mainly to introduce Cindy around to our friends and to get her help setting up our apartment.

We also will bid farewell to our dear friends, the Cessnun family, as they leave Uganda after 14 years of mission work. It breaks our hearts to see them go. In their generosity, they are leaving us several of their household items and permitting us to purchase their 4-wheel-drive van.

Pray for safe, unencumbered travel. As I learned last time, flight delays, cancellations, and lost luggage certainly can steal the joy of the experience.
