Uganda; day 69

We woke up last night to the loudest thunder I’ve ever heard, it’s been raining off and on ever since. We went to town this morning anxious to get answers on some things from the states, but still no word. Almost everything was closed for a holiday. I guess it’s national women’s day today. After battling the muddy road to get back to the home we’ve decided to remain indoors for the day.

The needs of the home seem to get more desperate everyday. They’re almost out of food, the firewood (for cooking) is almost gone, and five of the children have malaria now. I feel badly for the foster father here, he has so much on his shoulders right now. I can do nothing but pray, and try to encourage people here that God will provide. I know He will, it is just a matter of time. That brings me to prayer points, for all of you wonderful people that have been keeping all of us in your prayers here are some things to focus on.

-Shadrach (the foster father) pray that his faith will remain strong, and that God will take the burden off of him, and give him peace.

-Pray that the children that are sick will be healed quickly, and that the rest will remain healthy.

-Pray that God will use Kurt and I to encourage, and bring the focus back to him at all times.
