never…right?!
other way to explain this other than telling you to go watch the African
Children Video if you have not already seen it.
House. This month we stayed in a pretty awesome
place and lived with some pretty awesome people. The Alpha Guest House is Hostel like
housing but more private. The
people working there were absolutely amazing. We were able to love on them and they
learned a lot about American’s and Mzungu’s.
birthday. We don’t get to celebrate Bambi’s
birthday on the race so we went out on January 23rd, her half birthday, to
celebrate. We went to Café Javvas
and had the closest to American food we could.
Evening service. For part of Bambi’s half birthday we
went to Watoto Church for their Saturday evening service. I felt like I was at home with the
worship and awesome message.
opportunity to preach. I’ve decided
this is not my favorite thing but God gave me the words and I hope I
blessed the church with something they can use.
ward. One of our ministry’s this month was
going to the hospital. We went to
the children’s ward. I wasn’t
excited about this. The thought of
looking at sick and dieing children just breaks my heart. Walking it didn’t make it any
easier. We walked in on probably every
child crying. We sat down in a room
and immediately I started to cry. How was I going to do this? Bambi prayed for me and then prayed that we could show these little
children a little love by giving them cookies. Bambi also prayed for Jesus to hold them
so they would stop crying and well he did because our God is SO good!!
Children Center. Our last Friday in Uganda we got to go
to 3 of the Watoto children’s centers. Henry, a Watoto volunteer, who has a heart for children and youth,
took us around. It was a wonderful
day. Watoto has space for 1800
orphans, but they do not house that many because they do not have the
funds. There are many orphans on
the streets of Uganda who they would love to help, but they don’t have
enough sponsors.
Friends. I forgot how much I loved
that show. It can totally change
your mood!
