Today I really miss Uganda. I miss my friends, family and most especially the women I teach. Elizabeth and the ladies are in school this week in Moyo. I can't wait to hear the stories of what has happened in their lives while we were a part. Also the report on what went on this week.

Inflation is hitting Uganda hard. The price of sugar when I left in May was 2200 ush now the price is anywhere from 6,000 to 15,000 ush reported in Moyo District. The dollar to shilling exchange rate is $1 = 2670 ush. Wow! I don't know how families are going to be able to eat.

As you can see I need to really raise more support on a monthly basis for the ministries I am involved with. The CWWC takes about $3500 to feed and transport 56 women in the Moyo training school for just one week. The cost of medicines has risen as well. My help in the 2 children's wards is about $2500 now for medicines and staff costs. Even for me to live will go up at least to $2000 a month.

Please pray with me that God will supply these financial needs as I return to Uganda in December 2011
