Uganda thoughts

Team 1 has gone and today we are just chilling by a pool. Can't believe that two weeks have gone already and we are now in the middle of our month out here. The last two weeks have been amazing - too much for me to gather it all here now but suffice to say that the whole trip was fused with much faith, hope and love. I miss the guys today. I have often found it amazing how close you can get to people in two weeks of team environment and the overwhelming emotion that we find in community. It is a deep thing and I love being part of it.

The small village we are working in is called Jandira. We have almost completed the teachers accomodation for the school we are working with. It is called 'Source of Light.' There are almost 300 kids that go to the primary school and they have become dear to our hearts..little Jane, Denis, Fort and Sam, their faces flash before me. Some more fortunate than others. The girls ran a clinic last week and the need was frightening. They bust their guts to treat as many as they could and prayed for them while they did it. Others on the team lead a Bible club in the school with over 150 kids - singing, dancing, doing drama and telling stories. While this was all going on the guys (and some girls!!) slogged away at trying to build as much of the accomodation as they could, always with a smile on their face and forming friendships with the Ugandan builders. All in all it was an astonishing effort and Team 1 I salute you.

On Saturday we went White Water Rafting on the River Nile. It was as exciting as the first time i did it and as scary!! At times we got into the River and just floated along down the Nile. At times like this it is simply amazing to get the chance to be part of God's amazing world.
