Sorry I missed yesterday, it was because we went out late. Yesterday was good. We had a meeting scheduled for 9:30 with Komakech, but we showed up late. He wasn't there when we arrived, but we don't think he was there before then, either. After that, Oliver and I went to meet with Richard, but he wasn't there, so we went to a rolex stand, where we ran into the other guys on our team. we got rolexes and headed to Pece Stadium (pronounced "petch-ay"). Rolexes are delicious! It's eggs, usually three, and "chops," which are chopped tomatoes, onions, and lettuce, and a little salt, fried and rolled up in two tortilla-like things, their name sounds like "chi-potty." (It wasn't until the end of the trip on our way to Entebbe airport that I finally saw it written somewhere. It's spelled chipatti, and it's basically like tortillas, except the ingredients are slightly different, causing them to be ridiculously delicious. I think they have onion in them.) At Pece Stadium, they were having an athletics day. It's a nationwide even that happens twice per school term (Actually, it's twice per year. Whoever told me that probably meant school year.) all over the country, and this region's events are held at Pece Stadium. We saw some amazing athletes there.
Oliver and I left Pece a little early to meet with some people. we met with Sam Anthony, James from the day before, and a friend James brought named Justin. Any of them could be a person of peace, but it seems likely that Sam is. Soon after that, we met with Lawrence, the man from the bank the other day. He had followed Jesus in the past, but had strayed away because of things that happened to him, like losing his parents. He said he would need to think about it before deciding to accept Jesus. He lives far away, though, so Kent Forester (the long-term missionary who lives there with his family. He is normally there to help guide the short-term teams, but he and his family were in America at the time for a break, so Kevin was taking his place) will need to keep in touch with him. Later, after dinner, the guys went to what was basically a club/whorehouse to minister to guys outside. It was a fruitful endeavor. I met with three guys, and I think all three will go to church tomorrow. I met with one of them, named Sunday, today, and he accepted Jesus! We will meet again Monday, and he's bringing people with him. I think he could be another person of peace. We will see. The only other meeting today that actually happened was with Dennis, the shop owner in Main Market. I'm not sure if he understood what I told him, but he did say he wants to know Jesus, so I told him how to pray to God and receive salvation. I'll see him at church tomorrow or another day at his shop. I'll write about the rest of today after church tomorrow. Blake and Oliver are waiting for the light.
