One week in!

This week has been incredible! A few other girls and I have been going to Jordan House, an orphanage for children ages 4-18…56 children. As soon as we arrived, they swarmed us, welcoming us, hugging us, sharing their names and any other English that they knew. Three little girls took me on a tour of the complex, so proud of what they had. We played volleyball, learned Luganda, played games, and talked. The next time, I helped fetch water from the well. They expected me to hand it off part of the way up the hill, but I did not! You should have seen the looks I received on the way up the hill through the village the first time, let alone the second! Down at the well, one of the adult men was VERY surprised. He said (imagine the accent), “Hello Muzungu! How are you? Are you here to fetch water?” “Yes, I am.” “Truly?” (*chuckle, chuckle*) “Yee, sebo (yes, sir).” :D Forgive me for my bragging! I was simply proud to have defied the muzungu stereotype of being dainty and weak! I only wish that I could have carried it on my head. They say it is easier once you learn how and then I really would have stunned them! I've decided Jordan House will be my primary ministry while I am in Uganda. God is GOOD! "There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus." -Galatians 3:28
