9/16 - message from Vicki Cooper concernng Alissa Cooper Sande - you may have heard about the plot against American citizens in Uganda, I did talk with Alissa today & she is ok, I would ask that you continue to pray for the political situation there

I also have another request that is important for Alissa her house maid has taken a month leave of absence and was supposed to be back, but has not returned.

This may not seem like  a big problem to us, but to Alissa it is a big problem, Alissa has many responsibilities and does not have time for the household duties, but she has no choice. Cooking on charcoal takes many hours, as does doing the laundry by hand. A house maid is a very valuable thing in Uganda, she is asking us to pray that they will be able to find another one quickly, and one who loves the Lord and speaks English and that can be trusted is no small request. Our God knows the need and please pray with us that it will be answered.
