Nearly two years has flown by so its time for a little clean up before I am the one flying....
A little house keeping first.
Please bear with me through some house keeping. I know it is hardly enjoyable but it is necessary from time to time. As I hope you know already, I will be coming to America soon for Home Assignment. This is time for rest and renewal, time to connect with friends and family, and time for whatever else I can fit in between those. After this time, I will return to Uganda to continue serving in the same role as I am now. However, this is dependent upon the gracious and continuous support of many of you.
1. Please ensure that your information is current with AIM. If you have married or moved in the last two years, then please update your information. Let me know if you need help getting in touch with AIM for this.
Even during my time in the states, my finances will function just as they do when I am here in Uganda. So it is your faithful and gracious support that provides for my daily needs. Just as I had to have full support to come this time, I will need to have financial clearance again to return to Uganda.
2. Please also kindly inform me if you intend to continue or change your financial support. You can send me a quick email here to let me know about your intentions. I understand that circumstances within families and economies change and that you might need to stop or change or commitment.
Have you joined in this journey after it started? Ever wondered about how far things have come since last year or since the first few weeks? Now you can easily revisit the old news by going to my blog.
3. Visit trackatherine.blogspot.com to go through my old newsletters and other ramblings.
I think I have loaded them all there now. You can read the first one or one of the fun ones or one of the hard ones or any others.

At the airport, heading to Kenya
Faithful canine friend while in Kenya
Monkey on the office compound
To Kenya …..and Beyond.
My Greetings come to you from Kampala this evening but less than a week ago I was in Kenya and in a few weeks I will be traveling to America for four months of hugs, fun, story telling, picture sharing, and more.
A short recap about Kenya: Do you recall in the last newsletter that I mentioned I had some health concerns but that a way forward had been determined? Well that way forward was actually flying to Kenya for surgery. Everything went well beyond wonderful. Everything. From the host family to healing I was widely blessed in many ways. Many thanks over and over to you for your prayers during this time!!
And soon I will by flying to America.
For you this means that you need to LET ME KNOW if you want to get together for coffee, to meet your Bible study group, talk to your church, or something else. Most of February and March will be spent traveling and visiting people so let's start figuring out dates now.
For now...
I will continue to work at the office and try my best to focus on the daily tasks before me. We have two teams and others coming to our region early next year so there are many plans to finalize. Even though you don't know their name, please be in prayer for all these people that are where I was two years ago. They are saying their goodbyes and trying to balance excitement for what's to come with the bittersweet goodbyes. Please pray for us in the office as we prepare for them and that we are able to help the new people make the transition well.
I really look forward to seeing so many of you next year. I can never say it enough or find the right words to effectively communicate my gratitude for all you do for me. I know being here is only possible because of the faithful support both in prayer and through finances.
Grace and Peace to you and your family -
Katherine
