Only 10 days till we get on that airplane! We're getting more and more excited as the days go by. On some days it's more real to us than on others that we're really doing this. We're really going to Africa for 2 months!
We just got an e-mail from our contact with Touch the World. She confirmed that we'll be working with Sanyu Babies Home, St. Mary Kevin Orphanage and University Community Fellowship. We're also still hoping to go with them up to Gulu (a city in the northern part of the country) for a few days. There are some things i'd love to see there.
Please pray for each of the ministries and organizations we'll be helping out. Sanyu Babies Home is home to kids (from newborn to 3 years old) who have been abandoned. I can't wait to hold them in my arms and show them God's love. We've been told that St. Mary Kevin Orphanage has a really great children's choir that is always eager to learn new music. I'm super excited about getting the chance to put my musical training to use with them. The University Community Fellowship has a group of primary kids who come to the church every Wednesday sort of like a VBS. We'll be helping them out with that while we're in Kampala.
We're all also very excited about the second half of our trip which will be spent with Northern Lights Ministries. Kate (a Spring Arbor grad) and Peter have decided to open their home to us for that month. Kate sounds like an amazing person! We can't wait to meet her and her family. She told us that however many bags of chocolate chips we bring her, that's how many batches of of chocolate chip cookies she'll make us. I've got a feeling that living and working with her is going to be a blast.
Be praying for Caitlin, Erin, and me as we continue in our preparations. We've been facing a lot of spiritual warfare. Satan doesn't want this trip to happen, and since it's happening anyway, he's going to try to steal whatever he can from us.
I'll update some more on that later. For now, i think i should turn off my computer since the weather is getting really bad.
