I want to thank a few people for making this trip even possible. First would be my wife Monica and her amazing love for the Lord. It is very special to be married to someone who is always ready to talk about Jesus, even when the game is deep into the 4th quarter ;o) I would also like to thank our kids, Bailey and Libby, for at their tender young ages they can have "ears to hear" Him and be so willing to share their faith in an open way. I would never be at this point in my walk without my friend Daniel and his gift of boldness that he has shown me. Thank you DW and your entire family!! I would also like to thank our new friends the Meltons who we have loved getting to know recently. Praise the Lord for high tech friends and blog tutors!! We also want to thank our new friends from Israel, Dov and Lyndee Gelman. With their leadership with MBKI, exciting changes are coming to the orphans and the Kingdom in Uganda and Israel. Last but not least i want to thank Pastor Emmy. I have yet to shake his hand, but somehow I love him like a brother. Only the Lord could have brought us together on this journey. One of my goals on this first trip is to find a way to share with all of you a glimpse in to the heart of this mighty servant of Jesus. So, off we go..........
In Him,
Bub

Your trip, just starting out, is so inspiring already. We pray for your safety and for blessings from the Lord as you prepare to share his word with the Ugandans! May the path be clear of all obstructions. What a wonderful experience...I am sure you will teach and learn so much. Tell Pastor Emmy we look forward to meeting him and his family some day. Much love, Meggan, Rich, Jessica, Ryan, and Mom
Hey Barret Family! Hope your arrival in London went as planned and a happy belated birthday to Bailey on her big 13th! We've been thinking about and praying for you all and couldn't be more excited for the Barret family and this God-given journey you are now taking. Safe travels the rest of the way and we'll look forward to hearing your stories soon.
God Bless-

We're so excited to hear about your experiences. It's obvious God has begun something amazing...good thing He's a Completer (Phil. 1:6)! We are praying! Found your blog through the Meltons' page.

Bub, Monica, Bailey and Libby,
The Mills family is praying for you and the work God has called you to in Uganda. We pray for God's protection for you and that you will remain healthy and rested for the ministry objectives He has planned for you......even those plans you didn't know about. God Bless. We are so excited for each of you. We can't wait to hear back from you and learn of the Mighty things God is doing in your lives and the lives of the people in Uganda. See you soon.

Dr. B & family,
It is awe-inspiring to read each day of your blog as though we are there with you. What a wonderful experience for your entire family and those of us living vicariously through you. I hope all works out and Pastor Emmy gets to come to Texas and soon! Thanks for sharing, it is easy to get caught up in our daily lives and not realize just how fortunate we are. May God continue to bless you all, Amy Traweek (Zachary Jordan and Hudson's mom)
