Sorry I haven’t been updating more often but time sometimes
gets away from me while I am here. I
have had a great week. Nicole and I took
the children (11 months 3,5,12,14, and housekeeper) to church in Jinja. We went to Acacia church in Jinja. Pastor Terry was great! It was amazing you really haven’t experienced
church until you have had an outdoor service African style. Worship service was awesome they sing all the
same songs as at home, a couple with an African twist! Sunday afternoon we treated the kids to a
boat ride Lake Victoria, I’m sure no of them had ever been before. We take the boat to the Source of the Nile
River it is quite an experience. We also
treated the kids to chicken fingers and fries at an “Americanized” restaurant
which was quite a treat.
Baby John is doing exceptional. He is drinking 32 oz of formula a day and is
growing before my eyes. The change I
have seen in him in such a short time is miraculous. He is thriving and actually has started
giggling. He ate his 1st “meal”
yesterday of infant cereal it was such a treat to watch him memorized by the
spoon :)
Iganga is such a different town from Jinja. As I stated before the other Nicole and I are
virtually the only 2 mzugu’s (white people) here. Whenever we walk into town we are surrounded
by smiling faces and greetings.
We have also visited Amani Baby Cottage of course I needed
my Hope “fix”. It was great to see the
twins still wearing the clothing my mom made them in January and Baby Judah
(without hair lol)

Tonight we had Bible study with some of the neighborhood
children.
We taught the story of creation, the children were so
attentive, and answered questions after.
We prayed at the end and then all the kids got “sweeties”
