Uganda; Day 42

Another week is passing by. Today was the first big rain storm we’ve had since we’ve been at the home. It poured outside for about 30 minutes. The rain is very welcome here, it drops the temperature down to a comfortable level, and I know it’s needed for all the crops around. The power went out again for a few hours, but thankfully it’s back on now.

Kurt and I went to church on Sunday with the younger children, they have no transportation here at the home so we walked to the Nazarene church that is very nearby. I would say Sundays are the days when I’m the most homesick, I miss our churches, being able to understand the message and the music, and fellowship with friends. It’s come to my attention that there are a lot of missionaries from the states in the area. We’re going to check out a church that is run by a missionary couple, hopefully this Sunday.

I’ve started a study group with the older girls here at the home, we’re going over the book Purpose Driven Life, I read it a few years ago and loved it. I think that it will be good for all of them, and I’m looking forward to getting to know each of them better. If you’ve never heard of it you should pick it up and grab a friend to join you, it will challenge the way you think about things.

The children are going back to school tomorrow, school officially started last week, but we weren’t able to purchase the school requirements to send them back until this week. Thanks to some wonderful supporters in the states they will be able to go back. God is good.
