Thus far...

Uganda is amazing so far!  Yesterday we had a crusade ( a crusade is where we set up in a village, preach the gospel, and spend time with the people from that village).  It was amazing. People are so open here and so loving.

We got to hear about some of the peoples struggles and were able to pray for them. Being able to build relationships with the people here is such a blessing.  It is hot here but thankfully we got to have a cool day today with rain! (although that means more mosquitoes..... ).   Today we got to work in the schools and teach.  The kids are so enthusiastic about learning and really value one another.

We opened our morning in worship and I cannot explain to you how in love with the Lord these kids are. They led worship and brought in drums and I am convinced the angels were in the room singing with all of us.  The kids had their arms open and eyes closed praising the God that gave them life. See the most beautiful thing is God is everywhere all the time. The Lord is with me, my team, children of Uganda, and all over the world. He has a huge love for every one of us. His love is the same and he is  constant in all he does.

I want a child like faith, the ones those kids had today. No distractions besides spending time with God. Beautiful.  I would way rather have nothing and have an amazing faith than to have lots with little faith.

Here are some photos :)

Who knew?

    Tomorrow we are leaving for Africa.  The way God has made this happen is mind blowing. Trying to explain all that God has done over these past couple months is almost impossible, but  to be frank, God does the impossible. My team and I get to spend Christmas in a third world country and I believe it will be the best Christmas we will experience. We won´t have presents but being able to serve others and really see the true meaning of christmas without the Western distraction will be amazing.

    I thought leaving Santa Cruz for Australia was going to be really foreign, but now Australia will be home and so comfortable compared to Africa.
God is good and is so much more than any words can describe.  Paul makes it so clear here " For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain" Philippians 1:21

On a final note please pray for us. Pray for health, money to come in, unity and patience.

Thank you so much for being so supportive friends and family, I couldnt have done it without you guys.
