The 2nd Monday in Uganda

This was a hard day. I will not share all the details but when I get back to the states, if you have more questions I would answer them. Now on with the blog

Mentally exhausting. That best describes today Neonatal ICU, Pediatric surgical unit and burn unit to start the day Shopping and lunch then off to the Uganda Jesus Village All orphans, 50-70 or so, from Gulu. (If you don't know about Gulu you should look up invisible children)

But let's begin at the beginning

Mulago Hospital - NICU
around 30 babies
2 nurses
1 doctor (reading a newspaper)
So many tiny babies (around 10) and around 20 full term babies that were sick. Hard to see but you could tell everywhere you went that the nurses cared. That was good

Mulago Hospital - Pediatric Surg Unit
I prayed over a young boy named Frances He was waiting for surgery for an obstructed bowel His dad was holding him and they both looked scared Touching Frances you could tell he had a fever His father was so grateful that I had stopped to pray I have prayed for him many time today I hope his surgery came soon and that he comes out of it good

Mulago Hospital - Burn Unit
Will not share but can talk about it at home

Shopping - Good but high priced, done shopping now :)

Uganda Jesus Village - Beautiful
These are Acholi children from Gulu. Three gave testimonies All lost their parents somewhere along the ages of 2 - 5 But all were thankful for Uncle Memory (the young man who began UJV) for now they have a home and "mother's", they can read and write, speak english and go to school. One girl said in her testimony, "I did not know how to sing until I came here." What a beautiful testimony of how God can touch a soul

I can sing!
