Tuesday  March 13 & 14 My son Sam Moehlenpah and I flew from San Diego to Minneapolis.to Amsterdam to Nairobi, Kenya to Entebbe, Uganda, arriving at 11:15 PM.

Thursday March 15 I spoke at K. Garden Groove Secondary School to about 350 students. About 2/3rds of the students live on campus. Kamala Joseph, a teacher, opened the session with prayer.

I spoke on the three-part subject: “The theory of evolution is not scientific. The theory of evolution contradicts established scientific laws. The theory of evolution is for all practical purposes not mathematically possible.” Then Mpaata Jerome Owagagehe, a student, gave his 30 minute presentation. He did excellently and was very poised and fluent. Jerome’s presentation was a lot about the supposed ridiculousness of Noah’s ark.  The moderator refused to use the cards for the questions and instead had a lot of people lined up to give little speeches and then ask questions. It did though give me an opportunity to answer some questions that were not related to the subject such as “What good is the Bible?” and about miracles. We probably had at about 450 in attendance including those looking in the windows and doors. They kept bringing in chairs until there was room for no more. Jerome asked to meet with me afterwards. He told me he was a believer and asked me some other good questions. I promised to send him my Creation Versus Evolution book.

Several days later I received the following email from Jerome, the one I debated. “Thank you so much again, you are way too modest! I must confess I learnt a lot from the debate especially the post-debate talk. I need to know exactly for how long you will be in my country. Mailing me the DVD would be great and appreciated. Before I go, I want you to know something: in that debate, you might have changed and positively affected so many people's lives but you changed and positively affected mine the most. For that, I say, thank you. I will check out your web site. Best regards, Jerome”

Sunday, March 18, both Sam and I spoke at the Kampala Apostolic church. They translated into the Luganda language. The people in Uganda are a great audience and even with the translator it went well. There were a number of high quality guests including about three invited by Carlo, who seems to be quite a soul winner. Afterwards we drove by the property that the church in Uganda has purchased.

Wednesday March 21 we drove to Adjumani (near the Sudan border) to see the site where they plan to build an orphan home. En route we saw many Internally Displaced Persons (IDP) camps. That evening we had a service with the pastor/presbyter Tarrantino Amoko.  I had to finish my message in the dark as there was no electricity. Thursday March 22 we visited an IDP camp near Adjumundi as we returned to Kampala.

Saturday, March 24, Sam and I conducted a Family Life Seminar at the church.  Some parents of the Kampala Apostolic Secondary school (KASS) children as well as church personnel and community people attended. Joseph from Garden Groove Secondary School (See March 15) also came. Sam spoke on “Triangles” and “Trust” and I spoke on “Husbands” and “How to Be a Better Father.” All lessons were translated into Luganda by Edward and Paul.  

Sunday March 25 Sam taught at the church on “Fear” and preached on “The Name of Jesus.”

Monday March 26 we spoke to the faculty and students at the Kampala Apostolic Secondary School (KASS) Sam spoke on AIDS prevention and I spoke on "Science and the Bible." We had about 140 in attendance. I continued Wednesday March 28 on "Bible Answers Regarding Creation."

March 26 in the afternoon we went to Kampala International University and had about 50 in attendance. The person I debated was a minister and we really both presented the Creation side. A good question and answer session followed.

Tuesday March 27 there were about 85 people who attended the debate at Makerere University which is the largest university in Uganda with about 50,000 students. The above are two pictures that I tried to combine as one. Pictured in the front row is the bishop of the Anglican Churches in Norther Uganda. I debated against Nkamuhayo Rwacumika aka Kirhura-Nkuba director of The Pan Afrikan Centre for Strategic & International Studies.  The moderator for the debate was Arthur Bainomugisha, who is with Advocates Coalition for Development & Environment and also teaches some at the University. Again a person came up to me after the session wanting to spend time with me and ask questions. Also, Joseph (March 15) was there again.

Wednesday, March 28 I spoke at King’s College Budo which is noted to be the premier Secondary School in Uganda for O and A-levels. Many of the leaders of Uganda have graduated from there. At the time of our visit they had two Americans as exchange students. It is a boarding school.  Upon arrival we met with the headmaster James Mugerwa.  In attendance at my session was Mary Muddu, the biology teacher and Victor Ntanzi, an instructor who was in charge of the meeting.

March 19 and 20 we took some time to sight see and drove to Murchison Falls Game Park on the Nile River in Northeast Uganda.  On the way we viewed Murchison Falls from the top and also saw quite a few baboons, wild boars, and deer.  We stayed  over night at Paraa Safari Lodge. The next morning we did a land safari in the game preserve and saw some boar, thousands of deer, over 20 elephants, over 20 giraffes and one lion. Our guide David and Sam sat on the top of the SUV so Sam could video. That afternoon we went on a boat trip on the Nile River to see the bottom of Murchison falls. We must have seen about 1000 hippos and many elephants and crocodiles. When we returned there was a large hippo laying just outside the door of  our driver Tony’s room.
