Back to Houston

Posted by Maker Manyang on Friday, February 6, 2009 at 9:46 AM (PST)

After a very long journey, I finally made it back to Houston today.  My journey began with a ten hour bus ride down the bumpy road from Nimule, Sudan to Kampala, Uganda with my wife, Rebecca.  I wasn't feeling very well, but we made it.  Once we arrived in Kampala, we headed for the airport but we didn't realize that my plane didn't leave until the evening.  We calledKerry Henderson and he came to pick us up and took us out to lunch with his family.  We had a very nice lunch and enjoyed talking together.  We then went back to his house and his friend took us to the bus station to get Rebecca a bus ticket from Kampala back to Arua, where she'll stay with our daughter Akur and with her mom.  Finally Kerry took me to the airport and I waved goodbye before flying out for Amsterdam.  There I had a layover of 5 hours before boarding the plane for Houston. That flight was 10 hours and it took a long time.

When I arrived I was greeted by Andrew Brown and David Humphrey at the airport. When they took me to my car, I wasn't sure I'd remember how to drive it because I had not been driving since I left for Sudan. I am glad to be back in Houston, but I have a lot to do to get my apartment and my car back in order. Thank you so much for your prayers for me while I was in Sudan.  Please continue to pray for my wife, Rebecca and my daughter Akur, both in Uganda. Pray also for me during this time when I am getting accustomed to Houston again.  Thank you very much.
