Day 5

Today we did a presentation for the children. Thank you Ashley M for your skit. It was perfect! And all the AIDS information was very helpful. We presented the gosped to two groups of kids through bead bracelets and many prayed to accept Christ! Wow. The team sang praise songs and danced! for all the kids. Several shared their testimony and encouraged the students to stay pure until marriage. We were taught Ugandan dance and some got their hair braided. By the way Rachel's foot is not broken. It is bruised and sore, but she is walking fine and it did not slow her down today. Both Marissa and Caitlin are feeling well. No one has really been sick and we are so thankful. The bath houses are almost complete. We have one more day to work on them.

We will be attending a traditional African wedding tomorrow in African dress. The kids are very excited! We will go to church (4 hours at least) on Sunday. The students will be leading 20 minutes of praise and worship and Keith is going to preach. We are going to an wild-life park on Monday, work at the Children's Center on Tuesday and head to Kampala on Wednesday to visit another village and school that is in worse shape than where we are now. Then we will have some time for shopping before we leave on Thursday.

We rode "African Style" today with nine people in a car about the size of a camry. We are quite a spectacle everywhere we go. We attract a lot of attention as everyone waves at us, smiles and laughs to see "Mezungue" (white people). The people here are so full of love and joy, so welcoming and fun. We are already beginning to feel sad about leaving. But we are all thinking of everyone at home. We are praying Week Without Walls goes well for everyone!

Thanks for your continued prayers.

Love, Lisa & Rona
