Our 2nd Day: 11-1-2014
Seeing the different culture of a new
Continent/Country is so much fun, but actually doing work that Jesus would do
is even more fun! - Last night I woke up to a raging African
rainstorm! (Just thought that I should
add that cool experience in!!)

Today we went to visit some widows
who lived in the village of Namimya.
These sweet sweet sweet women absolutely love Jesus! They made us some delicious pumpkin and
banana bread. (sooo yummy!)

On this
journey to visit these ladies, we had the opportunity to bless them with
jewelry and other gifts. They loved
these so much! Thank you to all who
donated to them!
We also had the amazing opportunity to wash their feet, like
Jesus did! We washed them with bottles
of water, and we prayed over their precious calloused feet. One of the ladies (Sarah) thought that this
washing symbolized how Jesus is never finished with us and our walk. I think that’s so cool! These extraordinary ladies let us pray over
them, and they also prayed over us.
Even though most of them don’t speak in English, we could feel the same
spirit of the Holy Spirit. I can’t even
describe how powerful this was! Amazing!!!
Later that evening, I got the chance
to pour out my heart to Abdu and Betty’s joyful children. (Moses, Ruth, Hannah,
and Abby J) O my goodness
these amazing children just desire so much to be played with, and I let them
lead me in their play! I love them so
much!! Their giggles are priceless!
Being in Africa is just so great, I love it so much! God is showing me to treasure every moment,
and to not worry about time. Syd’s
perspective is to focus on the “who’s” in life.
Not the “what”- “when’s”- “where’s”-“why’s”-and, “how’s.” We need to love everyone; the “who’s.” Today was outstanding and I can’t wait for
tomorrow!!! All glory goes to Jesus!!!! J
