I wish we had the chance to update more often. So much has happened in the past week. (It feels like so much longer than a week.) But we're staying at a pastor's house who lived outside the city, so it's a pretty involved treck to get to an internet cafe. We're learning how to get around though, which is so fun! Sometimes we have to cram-a-lam into a taxi with about 17 other passangers. Sometimes we hop onto that back of a boda boda. I love riding the bodas because i feel like i'm going to die. :o) I love adventure. On my very first ride, i was riding a boda behind Caitlin, and our friend Faith... and all of a sudden, my boda driver turned around and went the other way down the busy street. For a second, i thought "Oh my gosh! I'm being stolen!" But God gave me a peace. It was a peace that said "I'm the daughter of a King. Anyone who messes with me messes with Him." In the end, it turned out that my boda driver was the only one who knew were he was going.
Working at the baby home is both hard and good. There's one baby in paticular that i've been drawn to. Her name is Sharon and she's very smart. If you call her name, she'll crawl to you from accross the room. The other day she was a little sick and fell asleep on my lap. I was sad that she was sick, but at the same time it was such a blessing just to hold her.
At the orphanage/primary school, we've been teaching basic computer. It turns out that this is very, very needed. The school was just blessed with a few computers and no one there knows how to use them. I'm hoping that we'll get the chance to teach some of the teachers more so that they can tach more kids when we leave. It amazes me how eager these kids are to learn! They are so attentive and they remember everything you say.
This morning, we taught Sunday school. The pastor's daughter, Reba, is in our class. At first we were a little intimidated by that, but it turned out to be a big blessing. She's a sweetheart.
Living in the pastor's house is a blessing too. Despite some inconvenience, i really love that it's outside the city because it give us a place to breathe and relax. We eat real Ugandan food every day and we can go for walks as children run out to the street and chant "bye mazungu!"
So basically, we're being blessed all over the place. We did go though some sickness, but we're past it now and feeling great.
One minute left! Keep us in your prayers!
