Just want to let you all know that I am safe & sound here in Kampala. I'm not sure if you saw the news, but there were some bombings here last night.
Please keep me in your prayers.
Love,
Amanda Mary

BBC News:"Two bombs in the Ugandan capital, Kampala have killed at least 64 people and injured another 70.
The blasts hit a rugby club and an Ethiopian restaurant where football fans had gathered to watch the World Cup final.
Police suggest that Somali militants could be to blame.
They have previously threatened to target Kampala because of the presence of Ugandan peacekeepers in Mogadishu to protect the fragile government against Islamic insurgents."
I just read this on the news here this morning... puts an extra sigh in your soul when you here how close home it hits.
