Sunday's Update

Hi Everyone,

First, there are new pics up of the team in action on Jeff & Shannon's blog so be sure to check them out (blog address in a post below).

Sunday was a great Sabbath. Cameron & Goeff taught adult Sunday School, Mark & Allard taught the Young Adults, and the girls had the kids for both Sunday school and during the service. Scott preached again....and for the first time, Muzungu's dedicated babys! Farrah and 'Elder John' got the privilege of doing so and, in typical Ugandan fashion, it was planned a bit 'last minute'. This became evident when Joshua, one of the 8-9 babies being dedicated (there was only supposed to be 6!) got dedicated twice!! Or at least one and a half times....we're not sure! Ahhh Uganda.

After church we headed to the Equator (30 min drive) for our traditional team picture. Unfortunately Jim could not join us as he as a bad head cold....so he stayed on the 10 acres and slept. You can pray for a quick recovery. On our drive, we passed, and then stopped to look at, a 10 foot python that had just been killed on the side of the road...that was a bonus!

After the equator, we stopped at Michael & Juliet Masembe's house for a light supper. Michael shared his story with the team and I think we all left there thinking that we have a LOT to learn about 'expanding our lives' so we can make an impact on other people. It was, once again, humbling to hear him tell stories about people we have met here or who even work on the 10 acres that were given a chance a life because of their generosity (which includes opening their home and having children live with them for years on end...sometimes as many as 14 at a time!).

Have I mentioned before that we have a lot to learn from our Ugandan brothers & sisters?

Now it's off to bed to prepare for our last work day. Thanks for your prayers!

    Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers. (3 John 2).
