God is Grand - Day 5

Day 5: 11-4-2014

We were all very privileged to start the day out with a testimony from Pam, one of our team members.  She explained her experiences on how she arrived in Uganda.  She told us how she had many trials before coming on her God led journey to Africa.  It is an exceptional story, you should ask her to tell you about it sometime!   

Soon after Pam’s devotion we were off to the school (Rock of Ages) to take more pictures of the unsponsored children.  These kids really need sponsors.  Please take into consideration becoming a sponsor.  If you are interested you can find more info on the website: www.hands4uganda.org or contact Syd Hair on Facebook.  It is only $20.00 a month.  I say this with passion; a sponsor for these youngins’ would really help them tremendously! 

With the teachers

While we were taking pictures, my mom was teaching reading strategies to the teachers at the school.  She said that the teachers were very accepting to the new information.  The teachers are so kind.  They are great teachers!

After some really cute pics of the young ones and meeting up with my Mom again, we were off to visit the unsponsored kid’s homes.  Boy, it is insanely humbling to see the shacks that these families live in, but most people know that Mukama mulungi all the time.  That means that God is good all the time!

True stuff!!!  For one house we had to climb a humongous hill! (I call it a mountain!)  How they do it every day, I don’t know.  I just can’t explain in words how we Americans are sooooooo spoiled and unaware of true poverty.  We really have to pray that these sweet Ugandans will have all of their needs met daily.  Also pray that they will find a beneficial purpose for their lives.


Now, Sarah, Abdu and Betty’s daughter, is coming home from boarding school tonight and we are going to celebrate her birthday; which was in September.  Since we are celebrating her birthday, we might as well celebrate all of the birthdays that are in September!  So that is what we are doing!!  Tonight is the big party for September birthdays!  Cathi and Connie spent a good chunk of time decorating the house for the occasion!  Thanks ladies!  Well, that is how today went for us in Africa!  I hope that all is well with everyone, and thanks for reading!
