My first thought on being back in the US
A lot of you have asked, “What’s it like coming back?” or “What’s it like to be back?” Well, it’s been strange at times. The hardest thing, when I first got back, was making simple decisions. I flew into Atlanta on November the 10th at 5:30pm after 28 hours of flying and sitting in airports. … Continue reading
REALLY Fresh Coffee
One of the coolest things about being in Mbale is that they grow coffee here. At one time they had a large and profitable coffee growing and processing industry. Due to war and lack of government support, the coffee industry has yet to make a full recovery. Mbale is at an elevation of about 3,700-3,800 … Continue reading

Clergy Wages
