The team has arrived!

Uganda; day 128

The team is here! They arrived yesterday morning. While we were waiting for them to show up at the airport I got so excited Kurt had to tell me to calm down for once instead of me telling him.

After their long journey they were all pretty worn out, so Kurt and I came back to the home after lunch and left them all to catch up on some much needed sleep. They were all refreshed and ready to go this morning though! We all went to one of our favorite cafe’s in town for some yummy sandwiches and fresh juice, and then after a quick trip down main street we headed to the home.

Watching them, and listening to their reactions and thoughts on being here has brought back so many memories of our first few weeks here. It also made me realize how different everything is now, it’s almost like seeing a before and after picture, sometimes you forget how drastic the change is until you have them side by side.

They hit it off with the children at the home pretty quickly, it wasn’t long before the children were teaching them songs, and games, and vice versa. My favorite part of today I think was watching the team teach the kids the Macarana. They’ll be here working with the children at the home all day tomorrow, and then next week we’ll be doing vacation bible schools for children in different villages. It will be a great opportunity for us to reach out to some of the children that don’t know Jesus yet.

It’s so great to have people from home here, and I’m sure we’ll be doing some awesome work together!
