But I don't wanna say goodbye

Ashli- Sorry about not blogging yesterday. We had some issues with our internet connection, but not to worry we are back at it. So now I have to comment on what has happened for 2 days, it will probably be alot. On Saturday we began our day with the Seeds of Hope Children. They oldest ones were picked up from their school and brought to our Mission House where we are staying. There are 10 of them, 7 girls and 3 boys. They children are very sweet and just want our love, which we have freely given. We took them to lunch at a chicken restaurant. After visiting a school, the school we went to was on Lake Victoria. The school was probably the poorest school we had been to. The school was made up of children ages from 4-10. They loved signing with us and we made trail mix packages for them to eat while we read them the bible story. They also colored pictures and we sang songs with them. We also gave them soccer balls and ping pong balls to play with. They squealed with delight when we showed them what we were given them to play with. Our driver who has been very awesome all week, had been on my heart. I wasn't sure if he was saved or not and I was praying for the appropriate time to ask him. God finally created that time. Juliet and I were going to exchange money and get gas for our other van, he rode with us in the back. Juliet asked him if he was saved or not and he said no, I knew that was my chance. I asked him if he wanted to be and he said yes, but he would pray when we got back to the church. I told him no we can do it write here. So in the back of a small van on a small Uganda rode our sweet sweet driver accepted Jesus into his heart. We are all so happy for him and he is part of our team. He has a wife and a 2 year old daughter at home. Make sure you pray for them and him as he starts his new journey in Christ. Yesterday at church was a very emotional day, it was our last time with the people at Pastor Paul's church. They were so sweet and we were sad to say goodbye. We had a great time at tea at Pastor Paul's house. We had children and adults join us. Now when I say tea that doesn't mean just a cup of tea and sugar, this includes tea, pineapple, potatoes, rice, bread, and lots of other fruit. They would fill our plates with food and our cups with tea. So if anyone was worried about us losing weight that has not been an issue at all!! We began to eat and then the children joined us in eating also. Pastor Paul asked that Americans would sit with Ugandans and that Ugandans would sit with Americans. I chose to sit with a group of children. The little boy who sat beside me, had potatoes and cucumbers. I watched him quickly eat the food and then his sister shared her tea with him, which he also quickly drank. I was getting rather full and decided to share my meal with him and once again he quickly ate and drink. My heart was broken, and the tears flowed. I just can't find the right words to use to describe these moments, other then you need to experience. It will be an experience that changes your life forever. After we had tea at Pastor Paul's we returned to the Mission House for a slumber party with the Seeds of Hope children. We all had so much fun, staying up late, eating popcorn, painting nails (just the girls) braiding my hair and taking pictures. These children are so sweet and loving. I will blog more tonight after we get back from spending more time with the children and right about today. I'm not sure if we will be able to update in London or not. We will see you all on Tuesday! This is a sad time. So please pray for our good byes.
