Sweet Thoughts and Sounds

Ashli- So right this very moment I'm listening to a sweet baby Uganda boy seeing songs to us. He is being adopted by an American family from New Mexico and he is visiting us in the Mission House. I just can't believe that I am here right now in Uganda. I have been overwhelmed since I've been here. The children here  are so sweet and loving. Tonight we went to a church and gave a preview of what we are going to be doing all week with the children in the cities of Uganda. We sang songs with them, Faith shared her testimony, and acted out the story of the wise and foolish men and played a small game of Simon Says(Ashli Says). They also shared songs with us, which I will post on here. Many headmasters of the schools are also pastors and they shared short messages with us. It was all so overwhelming sitting there with Ugandans and worshiping. One woman even let me hold her baby this evening, if you know anything about me then you know I was in pure Heaven. I really do love this place. I'm so glad God has given me this opportunity to be in the wonderful Country. Please continue to pray for us during this week for lots of rest and energy. Also pray that we have many opportunity to share Jesus with others. We love all of you very much!

Stephanie- We almost got run over by the presidential motorcade while on our way into Mission House. I also almost lost my passport at the airport and my finger prints almost did not registrar into the data base, but not to worry I am here safe and sound :)

Will- So all of us had a hard time holding it together at the church tonight. I was personally overcome with gratitude to God for giving us this opportunity to worship with our Ugandan brothers and sisters in Christ. We go to foreign countries ready to teach and give, but tonight I was intimately hit with this fact: the Ugandans know far more about worship than I do. Seriously, they love loving on and receiving love from our God. I pray for God to teach us all humility, real humility--not just words that make us sound "holy".

Tyler- I had a great game of passport stealing on the plane into Uganda. I almost became British! Hip Hip, Cheerio!
