Update from David!

I just got this email from David: 

so we traveled for about 24 hours straight before we finally made it to
Kampala Uganda. it was exhuasting to say the least. we landed there at
about 10:00 pm Uganda time and we were to spend the next day meeting the
people from steel works and get our Sudan travel permits and take time
for william to see his family. we got all of this and more done.
so we made it to Juba today at 11:00 am. it is waaaaay hotter!!
we were greeted by some people that are from Jalle but i think they live
in Juba. they then took us to there compound or house kinda. we hung out
at the compound for a bit and then headed to lunch. after lunch we met
some of the elders from Jalle. there is some communication issues that need to be attacked
with prayer. there is also some big cultural differences between us and
the sudanese which has definitely tested our patients at times. 
tommorow we attend a local Dinka Church and then meet alot more of 
the elders. then we will continue to shop for a vehicle and begin gathering supplies.
