Good morning from Uganda!

We have been busy, please forgive our lack of posting! We spent the past 2 days painting at the church in the Katanga slums that we have been working with the past week. Pastor Emma was overjoyed to have a fresh coat of paint on the walls, as it brings new life to the building! We were also able to paint the classrooms for the school that meets in the church. Bright yellow, bright blue, and bright purple really enlivened the rooms for when the students return next week. We were also thrilled to see the joy on Pastor Emma's face when he received the Bibles we brought for him. He is so grateful!

On Sunday we were able to worship at church with our new friends. Though the service was long, we especially enjoyed the worship and the kids dance group that performed. Afterwards, we took our friend Leticia to lunch and enjoyed getting to know her better. We then headed to Pastor Emma's house, where he and his wife Annette graciously hosted us. We were able to see what traditional cooking looks like (and how loooooong it takes to make a meal for 10 people), as well as view a traditional Ugandan home. Pastor Emma's children Kato, Kizza, and Joshua were great fun to play with. We were also blessed to hear testimonies from Pastor Emma and Annette about how the church was built, and how God has been speaking into their lives lately. Those who are pastor's kids in our group were able to encourage Emma and Annette regarding how to raise their small children in the future, based on their experience.

Today we are heading out of town to do some sight seeing at a game park further north in the country. We are excited to see a new landscape, hopefully see some big animals, and spend some last time together as a team in country! Everyone is having fun and in good health, we will talk to you soon!

Hi Ian! We just RSVP'd to the Saturday Celebration - We can't wait to see you and hear all about your trip!! We've been praying a lot for you - not only for safety and health but also that God would touch you (and all of you in the months and years ahead as you process your experiences) in a special, life-changing way. We love you!!

Ian! I can't wait to face time you when you get back so I can hear all about your trip! I love you! Oh, and see how many wild animals you can touch at the game park. We can compare (pretty sure I'll win though). I have been praying for your trip, and I pray God will do mighty things in and through you both on this trip and after. Stay safe, have fun, and I am truly excited to hear all about it!
