obeying psalms 50:14



Joys from the day:

6:30 am prayer time with teammates (which included chasing a man out of the house at 7am who just wandered in off the street while we were singing!)

8 am phone call from my sister (who was up in the wee hours of the morning in America working on her dissertation)

Hearing the testimony of God's faithfulness from visiting friend from Charleston Susan G

Praying with our pastor in the kitubi

Lunchtime conversation that Simon at health center is, indeed, alive and healing from severe necrotizing fasciitis

Seeing Lilli skip off to Christ School Bundibugyo with Travis for the student chapel

Hearing laughter as Aidan (in his walker) chased Patton back and forth in the house

My first time to successfully make lasagna in Africa (after I brushed off the little bugs that like to eat the uncooked pasta)

That we no longer have to light our kerosene refrigerator now that we have an electric refrigerator (no ants in this one so far!) and it even has a light in it that lights up when you open the door.

Sharing a meal with new friends Eric and Joy who are interning as the chaplain at CSB this summer

Packing in anticipation of two days away in Fort Portal to connect with team and rest a bit
