belated update

Rebecca and I are really enjoying our time here.  The first month we have visited a different village everyday speaking about the Lord, nutrition, hygiene and disease prevention.  We have met 2 disabled children whom are now walking; Praise the Lord.  These children are hard to locate.  Saturday we found a home for disabled adults but it is in a sad state of disrepair and there appears to be poor management.  It is not in any way affiliated with Arise Africa. 

Thursday through Saturday a large group of women are meeting for a time of prayer and fasting.  Pray for us that we will glorify the Lord and have a blessed time learning with breakthroughs.  I feel that there will be more opportunities to meet disabled children after this prayer meeting.  I will keep you updated.  Our family has mailed a camera, so pictures are coming soon.  We have been using the mission camera, but the wire to upload the pictures is lost, at this time.  TIA.

One funny story:
We surprisingly stayed in Bukaleba, where the AAI orphanage is instead of the guesthouse in Jinja.  So we didn't have a change of clothes.  So the next day we got a change of clothes.  We wore them to the orphanage and the babies had diaharrea while R and I wore holding them.  So the next day we didn't go by the guesthouse either so we had to wear our 'dirty clothes' which looked clean to us then.  Sadly we met the pastors wives on Monday in the same outfit we had worn Friday as if we were wearing the same clothes for the 4th day.  HOW embarrassing!!  But then we realized we were going to wear the same clothes for3 days.  As if it really matters between 3 days or 4, but I'm telling you we rolled in the floor when we thought about giving a talk on hygiene.

Love you all!!

Please pray for breaking the bondage of the mindset of poverty.
