Our plan was for Angie and I to meet in Brussels - Angie coming from Washington Dulles Airport and me coming from Munich. We saw each other in the security line as we headed toward our departure gate in Brussels. Success!
We arrived in Uganda last night around midnight, everything on our flight went well. Angie and I had a whole row open so she was able to stretch out and get a little sleep. We woke up this morning and everything has remained calm in Uganda. I thought the Electoral Commission was going to make the announcement on Saturday evening but apparently they will do that Sunday afternoon.
The preliminary poll information matches the polls taken earlier in the campaign - Museveni winning with 70+% of the vote. As we drove from the Lake Victoria Hotel near the airport to our hotel near the embassy, we saw a very visible police and army presence. I felt pretty comfortable seeing all these guys walking around with AK-47 rifles since it should deter any violent demonstrations.
We were able to attend the second half of service at Pastor Dongo's church since it's just down the road from our hotel. He made us fell very welcome and introduced us at the end of the service and explained to the congregation that we were adopting two children from God Cares school. We spent some time with him after church and were introduced to his wife, Florence, and two of his sons, Thanks & Ezra.
We plan on staying close to the hotel tonight, thanks for everyone's prayers!
