Another country is done. We said goodbye to Kenya. Goodbyes were tough because we got pretty stinkin close with our contacts there. Thank you so much for praying for Susan….couldn’t  have ended my ministry there any better….she was crying in my arms because she was so happy that we came  and prayed with her. She is definitely healing and feeling strong and praising the  Lord with us 🙂

We are now in Uganda. We spent a few days on the Nile River with the whole squad as we had to say goodbye to our squad leaders Jenny and Jacob. I am now heading to Gulu and will be living in the bush, so if you don’t hear from me for a month or two…I’m ok 🙂

I love you all so much and miss you like crazy.
