Baha’i House of Worship

One of the main reasons we picked Uganda for this trip was for the opportunity to visit the Baha’i House of Worship in Kampala! We are both members of the Baha’i faith and share a dream of visiting all 8 Houses of Worship (1 on every continent + 1 in Samoa for the Pacific). Today we had the JOY of visiting it (for the first time) and pictures didn’t (and can’t!) do it justice. The highlight though was meeting the sweet Baha’i youth volunteering who welcomed us. They were thrilled to hear we were Baha’is from America and even taught us a proper Ugandan handshake, my favorite photo so far. ❤️ We said prayers for every single one of you in the Temple and at the resting site of some very special Ugandan Baha’is, including Enoch Olinga. Although the House of Worship was closed indoors for renovations (should be open for our visit next week) they still allowed us inside which was extra special as we had it all to ourselves!! Richard was our tour guide and a favorite moment was showing him a sweet photo of himself laughing! We came back to Kabria Country Club (our hotel), Lisa did some laps in the pool (while I stayed warm under the towels lol), we did a quick steam, and then attempted to get to-go food but they refused to let me carry it to my room by myself. 😂Read more
