Day of many Blessings!

It's difficult to believe tomorrow is our last full day here in Uganda.  Our days have been tremendously full, so it's been difficult to stay up late each evening to blog.

We've been able to visit with "Baby Blessing" and his foster parents, Francois & Sarah.  With each visit to Uganda, I'm continually amazed with how much he's growing & developing.  God truly does restore what the locust have eaten.  Thanks to a faithful monthly donation, ekissa has been able to financially assist this family to care for him. Monthly donations of any size, do so much!  Not only can it change lives...it saves lives!






ekissa would like to thank New Philadelphia Moravian's, Friendship Class, for their unexpected donation prior to our coming to Uganda.  Because of your generous donation, we've been able to repair the backside of a family's home that collapsed in the middle of the night during a horrific rain storm-displacing the family of 4.









We visited Rebecca, a 7 year old little girl in Bweya Village.  She was involved in an accident and was hit by a boda boda (motorcycle).  Rebecca is at home recovering from a broken leg.  We were shown her x-ray, and there is an obvious break in the middle of her femur.  I must admit, it was troubling to me that with such a break, her shin was wrapped with a thin bandage. This young girl was terrified of us because we are white (a muzungu) as well as, she thought we were going to hurt her leg. We were able to provide the family with some simple groceries and we plan to provide Rebecca with some crutches.





So excited to be able to visit our friends, "Daudi" & Maureen.  A week ago they gave birth to their first son, Ron. It was a joy to be in their home and celebrate the blessing of this little life.

This is recycling at it's best-At first glance you might think these school papers are for reading! I never cease to be amazed at how resourceful Ugandans are.

Amazing time with amazing friends serving an Amazing God!

Love-Sarah, Debbie and Deana
