My day off!!

Hello my Muzungu friends,

Today is my day off and I even hate to say that, but Praise God that I find rest and strength in Him. A team from NC came in yesterday and they seem to be pretty cool. Today some went rafting on the Nile River (class 5 rapids..not me..nope) and then the rest of us went to a children's hosptial and came to Jinja to shop and and eat. I can tell you that going to the children's hosptial touched me heart. Just to see some of the children there..WOW! Some of the team memebers thought it was cool to take pictures but I thought it was not cool and plus my heart was just a little aching for the little ones to take pictures of them and bring them back to the states and gloat over them. Right now i am in an internet cafe in town called The Source. It is also a church. It is a place where missionaries come and hang out also. So I am glad that I find rest and strenght in our Good Shepherd. Okay in a little while I go back to hang out with the preschoolers and then play soccer with my boys from 4-5. I am so excited. I scored two goals already. YES!! A Muzungu can really play soccer. Okay love you all. Please continue to pray for the children. Miss you all!! Bye!

Hey Chanman, Glad to here things are going well and you love it (not a surprise). Pop says "thanks for the card and gift". It's on the table with our others. Chelsea's shower was very nice. There was about 25 people. She received alot of things that she is going to need. (It's all in your room) Grandaddy Pete is back in the hospital. He became dehydrated but is doing better every day. I'm not even sure if he's still in but as of last night, he was. Well, I know you don't have a lot of time so I will close with telling you we are very proud of you and love you very much.
