Newsletters?

It seems God called us to Uganda for newsletters, among other things. We spent the better part of one of our weeks in Kampala helping Sarah finish the Kampala Diocese newsletter. And now we find ourselves putting together a newsletter here in Kitgum.

The morning started normally, with Andy leading the accountants through Excel, and me doing another basic course. I was amazed at the knowledge that my pupils from yesterday had retained, and Andy was impressed with the accountants’ knowledge of Excel.

Following lunch with the Bishop and his wife, we led a class on Publisher. Certificate and poster design, and then the fun started. We showed the newsletter template, and then Andy briefly mentioned how much supporters and stakeholders would enjoy receiving a newsletter. Before we knew what was happening, the Bishop announced that we were doing one right then, and the shining faces of the staff affirmed his decision.

So. Okay. This is a good thing. Deep breath. We made a list of all of the people who needed to write articles, and then sent them off, telling them to come back with a draft tomorrow morning at 11. Tomorrow will be a lot of editing, and then we watch flood relief seed distribution. Please continue to pray – we’re down to three days and the work is piling up.
