Videos of Soroti and Kampala

 By Anthony:

So we live in a strange age. We live halfway across the world from our families and supporters and yet at the click of a button you can see what our city looks like and where we go day by day. Somehow it still surprises me how different life is for us compared to missionaries 50 years ago. I don't even have to do the video recording myself. You can simply look at what is already on YouTube.

First, here is a video of driving around Soroti. These are the very streets where we go to the market, go to the supermarket, go to the ATM, go to restaurants, visit friends, and do other errands in town. 

Second, here is a video someone took of a walking tour through the new market in Soroti. This is where we buy most of our food. The old market was just ramshackle wooden stalls with tarps overhead to block out the rain - very dirty. This new market is amazing.

Third, here is a video driving through a part of Kampala that we have driven dozens of times. This is the road that the American Embassy is on and is close to the World Renew office. Also on this road is the Embassy supermarket where we sometimes shop during Kampala visits, and also some of our favorite restaurants.
