The reason I chose this for the title of this post is because it has something to do with 1 of 2 amazing things that truly touched my heart today. Its the name of the Luganda Bible Derek gave me.  Tonight I was in my room talking to Abby and Josephine the boys counselor and Derek came to the door. He was like Auntie Carla I have something for you. He went out on his own and bought me a bible in Luganda. I was so thankful and it melted my heart. Once again these boys are showing me the meaning of true love. These boys have come from such hard backgrounds but are so thankful to have people in their life that love them and want the best for them.  They protect me and love me so much and look to me for guidance everyday. When in fact their the ones teaching me how to selflessly love.  The other thing that happened today that really touched me was what little Godffrey did. Me and Moreen (my awesome roomate) were cleaning out our room today and rearranging it and I asked little Godffrey to come take out my trash. Here in Africa all the boys go through the trash. Mostly because thats how they survived on the streets, its all they know, so they do it here in the house as well. Anyways 2 seconds later I had a knock on my door and it was little Godffrey "Auntie, Auntie I found something. He found 10,000 shillings that I had accidentally thrown away and instead of keeping it himself and not saying anything he brought it to me and that made me realize how honest, loyal, and loving he was. I was so proud of him. And tonight in bible study/prayer I commended him in front of all the boys on his honesty. I even gave him a portion of the money to prove a point to the boys about honesty and respect. These boys truly have stolen my heart and I will forever Love them.  They have their problems and bad histories but are making such huge strides to have a prosperous future with the Lord by their side.


Tomorrow is going to be busy but fun. We meet with our girls at the Hope House in the morning for a few hours and then were taking the boys to the zoo. CANT WAIT!


I love you all so much and please continue to send prayers our way. <3 Carla
