part 2 uganda

We have been doing great over the last week. God has been working through us in such a big way. We have gone back to some of the same highschools and done some ministry there with the girls. The girls beat us in soccer, but they weren’t counting half of our goals because they were too high for them too reach. We were able to go to a place where people with aids come to help each other and support each other. We were really blessed by all of them and their stories on how they have relied on Jesus and how he brings them comfort in life. We went and visited the orphanage again and loved on them for a while. Walking through town the other day briana and getcha prayed for a guy and released him of “demons” he had. We did the underoath skit at a gathering this Sunday. We also shared with about 100+ young adults about how G is enough for us, how He is our superior pleasure. Then we went totally unprepared to try to lead the sunday school. All the kids from Gretchen and Gibbs’ class kept sneaking over to cole and Jbell’s class because it was more exciting and entertaining. We also went to a deaf school and served them by cleaning around the school and cole gave one of the kids his ipod. We went to another school and weren’t told we had to entertain about 200+ little kids for a couple hours. We have funny videos of the failed relay races that ended up in every kid doing the wheelbarrow at the same time and what was meant to take up some time, ended in about 45 seconds. We climbed a mountain nearby and hung out on the top of it prd for a while. They have a fred flinstone weight set here at the base that is made out of rocks with holes drilled through them for the bar to go through. We used it once…

We snuck into the Hilton hotel in Nairobi and went into the pool, got caught, and had to pay the pool attendant. We finally got some fast food, something other than ugali, and then we went dancing at a place that one of the base staff took us to, but we were the only ones dancing.
The four guys went to THE CARNIVORE restaurant and ate meat for 4 hours. We had ostrich meatballs, all kinds of pork, beef, chicken, turkey, lamb, and a few others. It was an amazing relief from eating beans and rice. We are still full.
We are sad that we are leaving the base here in Kenya, but excited to go to Uganda and somewhere new.


Please p for us to get rest over the next few days, and safety on our bus trip to Uganda. Also p for catie as she has not been feeling good.

We have arrived in Uganda and are staying at an American couple’s house. They do “plead the cause Uganda” we will do ministry on the mainland for a week then go out to the islands and do ministry there for the next week. We are glad to have real showers, internet, toilets, and real food close by. Our drive across Kenya to Uganda went alright, except an unexpected stop at the customs place where a passenger’s belongings (about 10 boxes full of stuff) were taken for some unknown reason. We will be staying at this house for about a week then camping out on the islands of lake Victoria for a week. Please pray for God to continue to lead us and work through us.
