You're looking at a picture of our soon-to-be house!  It will be a different experience living in a house with no living room, bathroom or kitchen.  As it stands right now, we have no running water or electricity.  However, we are hoping they will put a tap in on our property, meaning we'll have water in our backyard instead of having to haul it from town in jerrycans!  We also have a "latrine" somewhere at the back of the property but nowhere to shower or bathe. 

All of this is doable for me, but when Kenneth told me we might be cooking over a fire outside I hesitated.  A fire?  Like camping?  I mean, I love to camp, but every day, three times a day....that does NOT sound appealing.  In fact, it just may be a dealbreaker.

I know, I know....ambushes, killings, tribal warfare, constant dirt, no electricity, no running water, no SHOWERS and the cooking is the dealbreaker?  What can I say...I'm weird.  Thankfully my husband understands that about me and was very willing to compromise.  A propane stovetop!!  Very doable :)

Now about the no shower thing...

I think saying "the wilderness" is completely appropriate. :) So glad that your family has a safe dwelling though and I know you, Kenneth, & the kiddos will be able to handle what is before you. :) So excited to hear!! :) And I am continuing to pray about my involvement...

Hello, I live in Lira (about 4 hrs from Kotido) and thought I'd chime in. My husband has built a biogas system which turns cow manure into methane to cook on. If you want a cheap alternative to propane, it is a pretty good idea to build one. The methane can also be used to run generators. Here's his website http://www.worldsafari.org/biogas.html

Blessings as you begin your journey!
