Loose Ends from Kampala

I have so much to share, so I'll start with the Babies' Home, which was incredible. There were about 40 children all under the age of 4. We visited a couple of times and played with them, fed them lunch, changed diapers and clothes, and put them down for a nap. I was quite impressed by the organization there. The children were for the most part well behaved and happy. Dwelling on the fact that they are orphans would only hinder our ability to actually be beneficial. They are children—precious and created in the image of God. That’s all that I needed to know. I hope to go back when we return to Kampala.

By the way, I'm in Kigali, Rwanda now. I've so much to catch up on from Uganda, though!

We went whitewater rafting on the Nile one weekend in Jinja, which was terrifying! Perhaps if I weren't such a poor swimmer, it would have been a bit different, but it was fabulous just the same. We all received royally painful sunburns that day!

    It is taking me FOREVER to try and do this response! Everything from needing a GOOGLE account to changing "the cookie settings" on this dinosaur-of-a-computer!

    SHORT AND SWEET:
    I'm glad to see you are posting to this site (albeit only twice, so far...)

    Love ya. Mama
