Out of the most severe trial, their overflowing joy and extreme poverty, welled up in rich generosity.



-2 Corinthians 8:2

Praise God! Amen!

     Yesturday, I dod not get to post, so I am going to catch you up on the past two days. Yesturday(Saturday) was our touring day. We visited Bujagali Falls and the source of the Nile River where we saw lots of MONKIES. On the way back to our Guest House we stopped by a few shops to shop for souvenirs and ate at an American Restaurant for the first time! That night we also ate dinner at an American restaurant, so I ate to good meals yesturday!
      Today was church day, so our team divided up and went to 6 different churches to preach. My dad taught Bugari Bapist Church. It was my first time going to a church that is not in the U.S., so it was quite the experience. In this church, the people were very expressive in the way that they worshiped, unlike in the churches that I am used to, where people are really reserved. After we finished the service and all gathered back together we ate yet another American meal!
      Tomorrow marks the first day of the Pastor's Conference/VBS. We should have several hundred kid to watch and teach, so please pray for us. Pray that we will be able to handle the children, and that they will learn and come closer to God. Also pray that my dad and Pastor Jason will get their message across the pastors who will come from many different villages. Good Night! And as the Ugandan 's like to say, Praise God! Amen!

  2. We had church day today as well! Seven different people shared how God has impacted them since they began attending Southedge. It is always so cool to see how God works uniquely in different people. Afterwards, some of us bought lunch and went to Mt. Carmel park to eat and play with the kids.
    Keep posting! I love reading your stories!
