Our green beans are already growing! Many of the missionary families here have had good success with growing green beans. We’re hoping to be no exception.
We have reached Karamoja and our new home! The flight trip was rather uneventful and all of our luggage arrived. We then spent two days running errands around Kampala (the capital where we landed) and Mbale (closest big city to Karamoja) in order to get
