Uganda; day 36
The days have been going by much quicker lately. All of the kids have returned from their holiday visits with family. It’s great to have them all back, the home is much more lively with everyone here. School started on Monday, unfortunately some of them aren’t able to go back yet because we don’t have the money to get their required school supplies, but we have faith that God will provide what is needed.
Today has been a great day, I spent the afternoon playing bible card games with the kids, we had a lot of fun. Kurt and I headed to town around 3:00, we did our usual routine of walking to the main road to wave down a taxi, as soon as we got in the Taxi we noticed the interior was new. Most of the taxi’s here are on their last leg. Just as Kurt finished saying “this is a legit taxi” the “legit” taxi died, we ran out of gas. So everyone got off and we started walking and waiting for another taxi, we thought it was pretty funny when the taxi that had run out of gas happened to be the first taxi that had room to pick us up. So after that short delay we got to town and finally we were able to pick up the modem we have been waiting on. So we now have internet at the home, yay! So we stopped at the Source Cafe for a coffee (thank God for coffee), picked up a few supplies and grabbed another taxi to head back to the home. We made it about one mile before a police pulled the taxi over and made everyone get out because the tags weren’t current. So Kurt and I found ourselves walking once again, waiting for another taxi. Thank goodness we went to town later than usual because it was much cooler, and walking wasn’t bad at all. We got back to the home just in time to get dinner started and go to the daily devotion. Now I’m sitting in the dark, as I was writing we just got really crazy wind out of nowhere and the power went out. The power goes out a lot here, I don’t think their system is very stable. It’s a good thing the laptop just got done charging. So now that we have internet at the home, I’ll have more time to update, and post pictures.

Yay! I am so glad you have internet! I have been checking everyday. I am praying for you two, and everyone at the home. Be open to however God wants to use you. Fully surrendered hearts get to experience amazing things. Tell all the kids I said hi, and I love them and am praying for them.
