Mosquitos Print
Hi Fellow Uganda Travelers!  I know everyone must be excited (or nervous!) by this point as our trip is only a few more weeks away!  I am really looking forward to meeting all of you and experiencing the nation of Uganda with each of you. This will be my first time to Uganda, and even to anywhere in Africa, so I am really looking forward to experiencing the culture, countryside, and the best part- sharing Christ with people who desperately need Him.

You may have read in our missions manual to bring bug spray with deet, or a mosquito net so we are all probably aware of the mosquitos in Africa. Since I have not been there yet, I can't speak from personal experience, but I did read something comforting this morning in a book by C.S. Lewis about mosquitos that I thought I would share ahead of time in case anyone does come back home with a bite or two. C.S. Lewis in The Problem of Pain, is writing about where animals may or may not go in eternity, and the question was asked of him if all went to heaven, "where will you put all the mosquitos?", his reply is this, "...If the worst came to the worst, a heaven for mosquitos and a hell for men could very conveniently be combined."  

Once again, I am looking forward to meeting you very shortly and hopefully avoiding those pesky mosquito bites as well. To learn more about me, you can read my bio on the leadership page of this web-site. (yes, one of your leaders just wrote a blog about mosquitos).
