On our way to southern Sudan in December 2007, John Mabior Bayuet, Peter Matoc Kuat and Akol Akol Deng visited with Edward Christensen, president of the Kampala Mission of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. We had discussions about what is going on in southern Sudan. President Christensen subsequently visited southern Sudan several times. He introduced Art and Elaine Glenn to Nyamlel, Sudan. The Glenn’s are Directors for Humanitarian Services for the Church and are stationed in Uganda. The Glenns have been successful in getting several major projects approved by LDS Humanitarian services, including the distribution of 580 wheelchairs, ten boreholes for clean water and the installation of many latrines for sanitation.
The Glenns have some great pictures and commentary from Nyamlel and Aweil in Northern Bahr El Ghazal State, Sudan. Check out their blog: http://aeglenn.blogspot.com/2009/02/trip-to-southern-sudanstrangers-in.html
