The picture you see to the right is a picture of the group in Entebee before we took our infamous right in a box truck. I really wish we would have taken an after picture.
What a challenging couple of days! Mentally, Emotionally, and Physically. So far, this trip is beyond what I could have ever imagined.
God has been working here in Uganda, humbling most of us. I can't speak for everyone, but I know that working out in the field was difficult for most of us. It takes a lot of energy to cut back the "bush". I kept thinking-'ok, just a few more hours, just a few more minutes.' But, after I sat last night and processed-I realized these people do this EVERY day. They live like this, work like this, eat like this, everyday. I know it sounds silly, but, for a while I just looked around like-they'll just go home tomorrow. But, that is terrible thinking. This is their home. All their possessions are there. Ughh. This poverty...it sucks. Why, why is it that I have so much and they are sitting in dirt. Needless to say, the Holy Spirit is present and working.
Today, we'll be working with about 300 doing a VBS. It should be A LOT of chaos. But, fun. A LOT of fun. Pray for us.
Sorry this post is so short. But, the internet was being slow.
Today for lunch, we'll be eating posso. It is a Ugandan meal. It's made from corn and has beens and veggies in it.
Maybe there will be another post tonight recapping VBS- look for it.
Keep praying. AND THANKS.
Love from the team.
