Coming Home

I arrived back again on the sacred soil of Eastern Africa in Uganda, after spending sometime in the States. I was greeted by so many people as my car entered my village, cheers of joy, many waves, smiles. I am not an emotional person but tears came to my eyes.

My mind wondered for weeks what would I find, how would the projects be doing, chickens, tea, hotel, apples? I found the Chickens in perfect health, everyone accounted for, the Kabale environment and Martin were a perfect match. Father Leo Kosch taught a man to fish and fed him for a lifetime.
I found the tea farms continuing to flourish, the record tea production was not only maintained but was far exceeding goals. Herbert, John, and Lydia received 5 gold coins and returned 10, as scriptures writes the master was pleased. Humble Matthew was encouraged, enlightened, and moved. When Matthew left the record was 2,400 kilo grams per day, it is now 4,000 kilo grams per day. My four brothers know how competitive I am, Jesus knows how to humble his servants and this Nebraska boy is one proud, humble, inspired human. Thank You Jesus (as Damian Kabot always proclaims upon success).
Capricon Excecutive Hotel in Kabale Uganda is online with pictures for your viewing and booking pleasure. It is a Diocese owned hotel that is doing amazing things. Peter, Otto, thank you for your leadership. 
Matt & John Case
Apple John Case has taught me more about apples than any text book could ever begin. I look forward to the many lessons and just a small amount of apple wine. My father Paul taught me how to love again, and my son taught me a lesson in forgiveness.
