More Updates from Africa

Sorry everyone that it's been a few days since my last post. We've been so busy around here. 14 new people arrived in the house yesterday, more than doubling the number of people in the house, people who all want to use the internet.

Since my last post, everything has been even better than before. Saturday, we had a day to relax. We got to go to the craft market, where I bought a few little things (really cheap). Then we went and swam in Lake Victoria, which is absolutely huge! Sunday we went to church and were the ushers for three different services! It was amazing to see a huge church filled with literally over a thousand people! The people here have such a joy. It's been absolutely amazing to see how joyful they can be, in spite of the circumstances.

Monday we got to spend a lot of time at a babies home again, cleaning around the compound and then holding and feeding babies. I'm sure a lot of you could see me doing that. Not! But believe it or not, I did!

Finally, today has been an absolutely amazing day. We got to go to Katalemwa Hospital again, where I had three children hanging all over me the entire time! It was truly a blessing to see tiny little kids dancing around with their crutches in the air. God has really been showing us some amazing things here in Uganda. In the afternoon the group went to a local high school, where I got to share a short message with the kids and give them some encouragement. I was so nervous before getting up in front of them to speak, but everyone said I did a great job and that the message really made a difference for them. That in itself was a huge blessing for me.

I thank God ever day for the opportunity to share His word with the children here. I am so blessed to have the opportunity to make a difference in the kingdom of God. I have nothing to do but to thank the God of the universe for his unending love and mercy and to do whatever I can to tell others about that amazing love.

All I really have to say is "PRAISE GOD!"
