Interesting Day!

Hello Family and Friends,

Welcome to a very interesting day at GSF! On Monday in America is known as one of the worst days of the week because you have 5 more days to go after that horrible one. But here in Uganda there is a saying called, "TIA." ("This is Africa). When something happens to our American culture idea in our mind that is what we say. Well on Monday I got bit by one of my pre-schoolers and to make the news even more exciting one of our children set one of our classroom (storage) huts on fire. I was told by Bob that he was chasing a village child (outsider), but he was chasing the outsider with a stick that he got from the fire from the kitchen stove. I do not know why he chose a certain stick that looked like it was burning. I was over at the soccer field and I saw the some guys run with ladders and I kinda just stood there. But do not ask me why I stood there. I guess I was in shock. Once my shock was over I ran down to help the men and trying to keep the children from the fire, which was hard. And also on Monday we got a new visitor. Her name is Beverly and she is a Speical Needs Teacher and will be here for two weeks. Before I go I want to leave you all with some exicting news. Tomorrow I am leaving for a safari for three days. We are going to Queen Elizabeth National Park. I am so stoked and exicted that I get to see all of God's creation (beautiful animals) up close and personal! I know my updating business has been horrible, but I am trying my best to update as much as I can and as often as I can. I have some prayer request that I ask you all to pray for. God has laid on my heart to come back to GSF. Bob told me that one of the many positions that him and Carolyn are still looking for and still needing is a youth/children pastor. This past Sunday our pastor here came up to me and said that he would for me to come back and that he has liked my work. He then said that I need to come back and stay forever. Carolyn told me that our pastor is a man of few words, so when I heard that I was like whoa. And that night we all went to a missionary get together at the Global Outreach guest house and it was there I met a guy named Frank Gardner and he told me the same thing the pastor did. He was like you need to come back and stay at GSF. Once again I was like whoa. People this has been on my heart with a little bit of confusion and such. Just pray that God will speak to me and move. Just pray that if God wants me to come back and be a missionary here then He will work it out. Thank you all for all of the prayers. I really have needed them because my tank is going low right now. But Praise God that we find strength in Him. I am still praying also so I ask that you go in parntership with me. I asked Bob and Carolyn to go into a partnership, so I ask you the same. I will talk to everyone later on. Have a great time in America. Ciao!
