This morning very interesting We went to a school for the physically disabled, 1 of 3 in the whole country We did our normal stuff and then... the children showed us around their grounds I met a young man (sebu) of 14 years named Henry Henry appeared to have Cerebal Palsy His hands were deformed his teeth were forward and his feet were slightly turned so his walking was slow But he PROUDLY showed me his classroom - primary 7 Then he showed me his seat and his notebook, he was learning exclamation mark He was so smart It took him a while to say his words but I understood everything he said and he understood me He was a beautiful child of God He had joy in his heart All the children did
Our afternoon was spent at the market and then to the Eagle's Next High School assembly That was interesting
Coming to the close of the first week it's been great Our purpose is being served and God's purpose is moving forward These children get to be loved and touched and held in these few days and in doing so see Jesus Something they'll remember for the rest of their lives And so will I
Today is Saturday and we are going to the AIDS village of Jokolera We will be doing a medical clinic, VBS and a de-worming clinic Busy day ahead Love to you all

Oh Erika, it sounds amazing. God will use him if you are willing, and i know you are. Where are you staying? What is it like, what is the weather like in a normal day...etc. I love you Kati
hey girly! sounds like you've been working hard, but are being blessed :) i had your kids and Anders here with me last night, until around 2 a.m. while the boys played poker at mike's. Isaac asked, "Karissa, why don't you and Terry have any kids?" I said, "I don't know, you think we should?" And he said, "Yea. You know if you ask God, he'll make a baby for you." I said, "God is just making sure we're ready first." It was so cute :) love you and miss you, can't wait to see all your pictures!
Hi Beautiful Girl! I was able to catch up with you this morning (it's Sunday) and I'm at the church. Looking forward to getting your wonderful kids for the week...we spoke to them for a minute last night, they seem very excited about going camping. God is sure using you in a mighty way! I can hardly wait to sit down and see your pictures and talk with you. I'll keep the kids busy so they won't miss you too much, I'm sure they will be so glad to have mommy home! I'm very proud of you, God has his mighty hand upon you as you serve those you come in contact with! Blessings to you and all you're with...much love - I'll love you forever - MOM
