Today a bird woke me up @ 5:30am . The birds here make this really weird noise and did it for an hour. As you can tell I'm still getting used to the animals and their sounds.I got up and got ready for church, I love my church here. Its called Calvary Chapel and its amazing. The people are so welcoming here at the Church and they treat you like family. I'm really starting to love Uganda. They're parts about Uganda that are a little scary but for the most part I absolutely love it. We went to the zoo yesterday and it was so much fun. We saw lions, zebras, monkeys actually came so close that you could pet them. The monkeys swarmed us because Davis kept feeding them candy haha. After the zoo we walked over to Lake Victoria and the boys swam and me and Abby sat on the sandy beach part and watched. These boys are such a joy in my life and I'm so thankful I've had the opportunity to meet them.
Tomorrow we start our woman's program, Hope House. I'm excited and nervous at the same time. We've rented the house its been renovated and we purchased things for the kitchen so we can supply the girls with lunch everyday. The girls are coming @ 8:30 in the morning and staying until 4:30. I'm so excited about what the Lords going to do with these girls. I pray that I can be an example of God's love to them. They want a better life for themselves; and Abby and I are so excited about that, but at the same time its really scary. Abby financially had only planned on about 5 girls coming and 18 showed up. I know the Lord wouldn't have sent those girls if he didn't have a purpose or reason for each of them. And in return I have faith he will provide for each one. I'm so excited about what the Lord's going to do here not only with the girls program but with the children here at the home. All of these boys have such unique personalities and want to be loved. If I'm home and Emmanuel knows I'm here he wants to be next to me at all times. I cannot leave his side without him saying Kwagala Nyo which means I love you so much. He always wants to know where I'm going and when I'll be back. Emmanuel has truly touched my heart and he is such a sweet and funny boy.
Well I have to be up at 7 for the girls project but I thank you all so much for the prayers and support.
That's so awesome! Can't wait to hear how Hope House goes!
