Wed. JUL 16 a note from Pastor Wayne Wilson in Jinja

Hi Elaina,
Thanks for keeping up with Jonathan [his son Jon is in the hospital here in California]. Tuesday evening, all the pastors here sang and prayed, imploring the Lord on Jonathan's behalf. It was very moving. It has been very hard not being there for him.
Today (Wednesday) is the first time we could get to a computer with e-mail since we've been in Jinja. Communications are proving very difficult. Everything is going well here...very well. Dave and Brian came through yesterday looking for batteries, and Brian had a nasty (spider?) bite of some sort. Painful! Fortunately, our training is at a huge nursing school, and they checked him out. We heard good reports from the village through Dave and Brian.
There is a line to use the computer, so we will try again with more information later. Steve is filing his small books on our experience here. God bless you.
