Learning Along the Way

This weekend was another busy one, but first we started by having a little birthday party for one of the girls on the trip, Molly. We picked up some "cake" for her, as well as some clearly non regulated candles(might as well have been fireworks) and sang and had ice cream after dinner!

On Saturday we had our second I Choose You family day.  It was very well organized and a lot of fun for the kids!(I was pumped to wear pants!) They got all of their gifts and letters from their sponsors, as well as some adorable pillowcase dresses for the girls and some colorful t-shirts for the boys! I don't have many pictures from this day because I was holding this little girl, Linda-Marion, ALL DAY! She has the most precious smile, although it takes me two hours every time to make it happen ha.

On Sunday we had a fully packed day!  We started with church, which usually goes from 9am to 1:30pm!  I got to hold little Marion the whole time again, but this time her brother, Shadrack, joined in.  They are such precious babies! After church was over we made our way to Luwanda Children's Home.  The kids there put on a precious little show for us, they are definitely not short any dancing skills!!  It was very sweet to watch one of our team members, Darby, hang out with her sponsor, Davis.  Those kids are so well taken care of, it was a big change from what we see daily in Namatala.

We started our week with a bang, putting on our first day of the medical clinic. It was a learning experience to say the least!  We saw so many people, counted tons of medicine, and played with kids!  It was a long day, and definitely tough sometimes, but tomorrow will be that much better because of it.  Meeting the needs of these people spiritually, as well as physically, is an amazing opportunity.  I have never seen such gratitude and appreciation.  It is so easy to show these people the love of the Lord!
