I just love the messages on the back of Ugandan taxi vans. Look carefully. God's Bressings to us all!
Jinja sailors club was so much fun. The desserts were amazing and the T-Rex photo opp was an extra bonus! Thanks Natalie and Tiffany! That was such a fun time. (Yes, that is me posing under the T-Rex as if he is about to eat me. Yes, I am apparently still 12. But it was fun!)
Visiting Mama Flowers' new house! This mama has worked so hard to build this house for her family. We are so proud of you and so happy for you Margaret. Your new home is beautiful!
Meet my new friend Patricia. Patricia is one of the most joyful and sweet young ladies I know. She is always very helpful when I need translation help in Namatala also. Love you P!
Wedding time!!! This girl is finally here! Thank you Lord! We are having the time of our lives!
Roommate pic! Don't we look fabulous?
Love this girl! So glad God saw it fitting for us to spend this year here together. She is a gem!
Lilly did an amazing job walking in the introduction with the other young girls. And she looked awesome doing it!
This guy. <3
Isn't he handsome?! And he has brains too ladies! Number one in his class every term. What a catch. Too bad he's not allowed to date until he's 30!
At least he won't be going on dates with anyone other than me. Don't we look smart?! I'm a very lucky girl!
Karamoja!!! We went to Moroto this time and it was beautiful. I will write another post about Karamoja soon.
Goodness this little one is cute! And that door is small. Smaller than it looks. They all laughed at us as we walked under it. I'm fairly certain they were placing bets about whether or not we would all make it!
I'm not sure who this is exactly but she was around the whole time we were with Isaac and Akuu's family. She is beautiful and wearing the traditional karamojong jewelry. She graciously agreed to a photo with me and loved seeing herself! I want to be friends with this one.
Do you remember that baby girl? The little one in white is the sweet girl that had to go to the nutrition center last year. She is doing so well! She is growing slowly, but I can see a big change developmentally! Way to go mama! Thank you Hilda for loving and supporting this sweet mother and her precious baby girl. Hilda is always telling me that what I did for them is truly a ministry. She is forgetting something through. What she did for them is being the hands and feet of Jesus. She loved them well, took them in, encouraged the mother, played with and loved on this sweet girl, and is seeing them though to the end. That is truly a ministry. Thank you Hilda!
New Backpacks! The Children got new backpacks while the team was here. My friend Grace and her husband Travis raised money to buy them nice, sturdy backpacks from America. They love them! As you can see from this picture they put them on and wore them around for the rest of the day. Thank you so much Grace and Travis Keas! The kids love their new backpacks.
Party!!! We decided to have a simple housewarming party for Mama Flower and her family when the whole team was here. It was so much fun! We baked cookies and they popped popcorn and we had sodas and listened to Margaret tell stories all night. It was a blast and well worth getting stuck in the mud later that night. Thats a story for another time!
2014 Team! Y'all were a joy to have in our house. Thank you for loving the people of Uganda well!
