So, Kati asked me some general questions that I am going to answer. I am staying at maria's place which you can find online i believe it's: mariasplaceinuganda. com There's pictures and everything on the site. It's beautiful here in uganda. Almost always 80 - 85 during the day and 65 - 70 at night. It's on the equator so the sun always rises in the same spot overlooking maria's backporch which is where i like to read my bible in the morning :) Many tropical plants and greenspace. So many flowers and they are all gorgeous!
Now on to Saturday's blog
"We must always remember to help our neighbor."
- Rosemary of Jokolera
What a beautiful village. Not beautiful in buildings but in people We recieved a warm and generous welcome from all This village has gone rough a lot No one was my age, 23 and younger or 50 and older Grandparents taking care of grandchildren because their children (the parents) have been taken by AIDS A whole generation - missing. But this fact alone has not kept these people down. They are poor but they have a joy and concern for each other that I do not often see.
God has a place here in these people It just breaks my heart to see some of these people (young, 15 or so) so broken and seeing no end to their suffering 95% have hope and beautiful smiles but 5% seem to have lost all hope as if nothing will ever change and they can't think of any good beyond their misery. Those are the faces that break your heart for you know that it breaks the heart of God. I just want to speak to their soul and say,
"For I know the plans I have for you,' declare the Lord, 'Plans not to harm you but to give you a HOPE and a future.'
