Heading To Bugiri...

Kampala town, JavaNet Internet Cafe

Wow, so it has been quite an exciting time so far, we spent a week in Kyenjojo which ended with a goat feast! It was kinda gross they cook everything intestines, lungs, gizzards, liver, everything! I was reminded of my college bio lab while looking in the stew pot!

The last day we were in Kyenjojo the kids said that there would never be a day like this again! But I disagree, I know that they are going to have many more days like it in their lifetime! It was a blast. I think some of the kids couldn’t believe that I was back.

Since last year the orphanage has improved triple fold, there is solar panels now so the kids don’t have to study by kerosene lantern. There are real latrines and even a toilet for guests, the shower stalls have been built, and the kids looked a lot healthier.

I think that the talk I gave them last year about hygiene and health may have made a difference. The goats are multiplying, while we were there a baby goat was born! It made the cutest little sounds!

I am really impressed with what is happening in the West and recently Peter Mutebi, the founder of Home of Champions has received funding from a Korean Ministry to help build new classrooms and possibly even a library with desks and bookshelves for the kids! God is working in Kyenjojo…

Meanwhile there is a food and firewood shortage in the Eastern Region where we are headed in a few days, so we will be bringing food for the month at least and I’m going to buy some drums and instruments for them as well.

Matt hasn’t been feeling well, so if everyone can keep him in their prayers that would be good, it’s nothing serious he has been to two different clinics and been tested for Malaria and for bacterial infections and he is clean!

We are staying at a Hotel in Kampala, Travis and I went out on the town last night and after leaving the internet café it was downpouring, so we decided to run across the street to this little bar/restarant for a place of shelter. Haha it was a blast, so we got some chips, (fries) and talked and ate and listened to early nineties groove on the radio! It was a good time, the walk back to the Hotel was also pretty crazy. It’s the short rainy season here until November….so we get rain almost everyday….

Thanks for reading everyone! Please keep us in your prayers and ask God to guide us down roads with safety and purpose, may he place his mighty hand upon our work and create a lasting impression on these innocent beautiful children, his children!

Peace and Love
