This is my journal post on May 15, 2010

I am sitting at the dining room table listening to the rain pour down on our house. It sounds so beautiful, but I wonder if the Ugandans love the rain or if it makes their houses wet. They live in much houses with brick. They have dirt floors and I wonder if it just causes mud. But it also gives relief from the heat. The heat is very oppressive. I feel sticky and dirty all the time. I just wonder?
Today we have done many things again. We helped Jennifer bring her car to get fixed, we also saw here house. We then went to a Hindu temple. The team have friends that are Indian and they have formed relationships with them. It was very odd to be in their temple and very sad to hear such a sad religion. They don't even know what they believe. Many prayers are needed for them.
At Jennifer's house I forgot to write about the neighbors. There was a little girl there who was maybe ten or eleven. She had one baby on her hip and one on a blanket and at least one more young girl to care for. She was the neighbors slave girl. She worked for food and shelter and the hope that someday her owners would send her to school. So young to be caring for all those children all day.
We had Betty and Abayla with us most of the day. They went to the market with us and out to eat with us. They love to be hugged. When they are in the vehicle with us they would lean against us and put their heads in our laps. They just need to be loved. At the restarant we didn't let them see the menu because Angie feared that if they would refuse to eat if they knew the cost. When they recieved their food first they refused to eat until we all had our food, even though they were weak with hunger. They ar so kind and grateful. It amazes me. I am so thankful to have met them.
Steve and I are both thinking that this is where God wants us to be. We really pray that He will give us the strenth to get through the next year or however long it takes to raise support and do training.
Proverbs 16:3 Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and your plans will succeed.

We need to give this over to HIM, if he wants us here he will provide the way. I pray for patience as we wait on Him and His timing!
