Our wishlist!
Now that our house is almost empty, it’s time to begin thinking about filling up those eight trunks that will make our house in Uganda, home. We’re moving into a place that was built for SIL/Wycliffe missionaries (they’re currently in another area) so our housing expenses are quite low, just some rehab on the building. Also, we have the wonderful advantage of being able to buy their furnishings instead of waiting months for ours to be made locally (the process includes cutting the wood, drying the wood, then eventually building the furniture!). So as of now, we own furniture in Uganda!
We are also well on the way to owning a vehicle in Uganda. A guy in Kampala has already purchased a vehicle and is suping it up safari style to make it appropriate for rural use. This vehicle is a Hiace Toyota van – used, from Japan, with low mileage. If you’ve seen Hotel Rwanda (excellent but heartbreaking movie, go watch it) than you’ve seen our vehicle. You know, the one they drive while trying to escape the genocide. Lovely. We’ve asked for tinted windows.
Anyway, to the Wishlist. Clicking on Wishlist will bring you to a site we’ve set up to ask people to help with our physical needs for Uganda. This stuff all adds up and now that we’re missionaries we are NOT rolling in dough. We’d love your help, and it’s SO much more fun getting gifts than purchasing necessities!
We hope EVERYONE will take us up on the poster idea (check the wishlist for more info). what a great way to remember you!!
Many kudos to my very smart brother, Andrew, who set this all up faster than I can google. Kids these days, all about the technology. 
Dear Naomi,
I don’t think you know me, but my Dad and your Dad are friends. I was wondering if you want to be pen pals. We can write or send emails. And also, I hope you have a good time in Uganda.
My name is Rachel Bishop and I am six years old. I like to sing, dance, watch cartoons, and pretty much just playing with my friends–their names are Katie, Evellyn, and Ellie. I like to sing in my church choir and I hope to play soccer in the fall.
We can also draw pictures and send them to each other.
Your New Friend,
Rachel Bishop

I’m now not sure where you are getting your info, however good topic. I needs to spend a while studying more or working out more. Thank you for great information I used to be looking for this information for my mission.
