Six months managing the Africa Inland Mission Guest House in Kampala in 2002. Fascinating (kupendeshwa is the Swahili). Missionaries are particularly interesting people. . . .
Here comes Wayne from Texas. True, he does not have six guns and a stetson. But the laconic drawl and the laid-back ambience are vintage Wild West. He is 'just down from Sudan'.
'To buy a lorry.' (No less). Load it with medical supplies. Then drive it back up through Lord's (Rebel) Army territory which he negotiated on the way down. Inside Sudan, he is getting a hospital up and running for Voice of the Martyrs. On site he can only employ locals vetted by the local warlord. Many of them arrive with 'protective' kalashnikovs. He has left Connie 'running the show' until he gets back. Can he have 'a bath and a bed, Marm'?
