Jacob & Levin are in Kampala!

Here is the first letter from Levin regarding their trip to Africa:

Well the Potts are a godsend. Great folks and their house is a wonderful place to chill out from the typical bustle of an African city. Rev. Mark was busy and couldn't meet us this morning, but he sent a relative on his behalf and we spoke with him on the phone. Apparantly he has foud a house that is in an outlying town that is about a two hour drive outside of Kampala. This means that we probably won't be able to commute to/from the Potts as originally planned so we may stay out at that place, we'll see how it goes. Jacob has been preoccupied with trying to reach his mother on the phone to get an arrival time (or at least a ballpark figure) nailed down so we can all meet with Rev. Mark and make the trek out of town to the place he found. Also, Jacob is looking for his cousin here, for whom he has no contact info, so he is randomly asking people on the streets if they are from Sudan, or if they know his cousin Alor. Many of them look at him as if he were some kind of country bumpkin, and nothing has turned up. Really, I think we just need to get some sleep, Jacob was up at 5 am after we turned in after midmight last night. Needless to say, we're both pretty lagged. But life is good, and I think that the meeting with Jacob's family is going to be pretty darn interesting, to say the least. I'll keep trying to calm Jacob down, and if I'm lucky, we'll be heading back to the Pott's place soon for a little R&R.
I hope that all is well on the Rock\
Lev
