Donations for the orphanage!

The kids and I spent this afternoon going through the things that have been donated so far for me to take to the Redeemer House orphanage in Ug*nda. I am going to be able to take a bunch of necessities with me as well as soome fun things to give out on my trip to Africa. I am so excited. Thank you to all who have donated. I am overwhelmed ny the generosity of people (some of whom I don't even know). I am not surprised however. God's people are everywhere and it is amazing to watch people make such a connection with people they will probably never see. Thanks again for the donations. Here are some pictures of us trying to "organize" and pack.

    Prepare for an incredible emotional roller coaster. The Lord has blessed in allowing me to travel to Uganda 6 times with the 7th coming two weeks from today. We have been working with orphanages in Kampala, Jinja, and Mukono, as well as IDP camps in Gulu. The people there are so special, so loving, so kind. The children in these orphanages touched my life in ways that I could never imagine. Their smiles, their laughs, their love. Many just wanting to feel loved in exchange, hungering for attention. I pray that the Lord will bless you on your trip. Maybe the Lord will allow our paths to cross their one day. God Bless
