Return ministries
Great first day today! Spent the whole day loving on what seemed like a million children ( probably 300ish). We fed them, played, danced, did apuppetshow,crafts, etc. The poverty is astonishing...but the joy is contagious and love transcends all barriers! Kids - no matter who they are or where they are - are all the same. They want to play and be loved.
Thanks again for all the prayers! They work!
Tomorrow we will be visiting about 15 families in the community and taking them medicines, toothbrushes, clothes, etc. We will be walking a bunch,we're told. Then we head to Jinja to Canaan's Children's home, where we will stay the restof the time here.
Headed to bed!
P.s. Used my first squatty potty today! Be sure to Thank the good Lord for your porcelain variety today....cause it isn't pretty!
;)
Love and hugs!
