We travelled to the city of Mityana where my boss and one of the pastors travelling with us were going to lead a pastors seminar the next morning. Pastors from all over the area travelled to this event. Some traveled for days. Biblical training is hard to come by in remote areas so the pastors take any opportunity they can get. I really enjoyed the singing that they all did together. They actually harmonized, which is something many Western congregations seem to neglect.
While the seminar went on, my Ugandan coworker Joshua led us around Mityana-town, which was where he grew up. We walked through the market and down city streets. Butchers hung their meat out on hooks in the open air. Theaters (which were just small dark rooms off the main road blared into the marketplace. It was obviously quite different from most of my shopping experiences.
After that Joshua brought us to his families home where his parents run an orphanage. In the tree behind their house were hundreds of weaver birds nests. After the seminar was over, we traveled back to the university and got ready for our trip to Murchison National Park in the North.

Hey Josh…great video. Did you enhance the color? It looks great.
Oh my goodness! Is this how far you’ve come? What amazing, world-class work you’re turning out now!
I left off way back when you did that “journey up the snow covered mountain” vid way back when. You may not remember me. We communicated a few times via email.
Josh, your shooting, editing, and adventuring has increased 10-fold! Way to go, bro. And what a picture-story you’ve painted of Uganda! I see you’re headed north. Our church has a connection to Trevor Tychon. He’s near Gulu Town, Kigumba, Atiak and Kampala ( Connect Africa – http://www.tychon.net/ ). He does work with indigenous resources & building.
I’ve been busy having children. We’re at 8 now! They’re a full-time job, indeed! One thing we do is track with InvisibleChildren and often pray for the release of the war-enslaved children of Northern Uganda and its restoration.
I do have a vid on the sidebar of this site you might enjoy – http://ohmihaiti.org – Canon HV20, Rode videomic, DVShade Easylooks in FCS3.
