I Once Was Lost But Now I'm Found
Yes, just like Pamela's suitcase. We just returned from picking it up at the airport. All of the contents appear to still be there, though the suitcase itself looks like it has been through a war. It had been sent to Aberdeen, UK by mistake, but God lead them to it. We are so thankful that God chose to return it. Praise Him for all things great and small! "You give and take away, but my heart will choose to say, Lord Blessed be Your Name."
Also, another huge praise. We think that we have found our new home! It has not been finalized, but we have looked at it twice and are ready to close the deal. We really like the house and it is everything that we have prayed for: large yard, big driveway, 5 bedrooms, nice kitchen, and clean bathrooms. It is a very pretty home and even has a modest view of the lake from the master bedroom balcony. The owner is in Malawi and we need to work out the final details with her. We are praying that we can negotiate a very good price.
I have to run now, but hope to provide more updates later. I must mention,though, that today makes 40 days since we left the states on September 4th. Maybe we really were enduring 40 days of testing and this was the time for God to reveal Himself through His wonderful provision. Thank you all for your prayers in these things. Lets all join in giving thanks to the God who brings salvation and deliverance to those who wait upon Him.

We were blessed to hear about God's provision in your life--but even more so by your faithfulness and endurance during hardship. May God's name be praised! We miss you and lift you to our Father for every good blessing for your family.
Pamela, I'm SO happy to hear that your suitcase has found it's way to you. I'm sure the items in it look very different to you after 40 days in Uganda. It's great to be able to follow your progress, challenges, and blessings. Thank you for continuing to share with vulnerability. Please pass on my greetings to your boys.
How wonderful to catch up with your past 40 days. We are beginning our countdown - just nine weeks until we leave. I did put the rings away and it was just as painful as you said it would be, but my walmart special will work just as well in the meantime. Blessings on all of you! Know that you were prayed for today.
Kevin and Pamela, I finally sat down and read through all that was on your blog today. I guess it's from 40 days to now. So I read your first few entries a couple months ago and have missed the inbetween. God has showed Himself faithful and you also have been faithful in difficult times. He sees, He knows, He cares. May the God of all peace give you peace of mind and heart as you serve Him and His people and the children of Uganda. We love you. Jim and Betsy
