1-19 Another Day in Paradise!

Today Randy and Alisa were split up!! Randy went on a wild ride in Kampala searching for mosquito nets, blankets and generators. It was a very challenging journey as today was College graduation day and the streets were completely full of people coming to celebrate the great accomplishments of their children. Traffic was as bad as I could ever imagine. There were cars, trucks, buses, and motorcycles all moving within inches of each other jockeying for position. There were tens of thousands of people EVERYWHERE. It was astonishing how crowded it was, but we got all of our tasks done!

Alisa on the other hand went back out to Hope. The mission today was to begin to interview each and every child living at Hope to find out more information for their files. It was a wonderful experience and opportunity to get to know the children better one on one. In the afternoon it was time for some village ministry. We went out in groups to meet the neighbors, introducing ourselves, giving gifts of socks and soap, asking if we could pray for them and inviting them to church. All the village people we met were open and receptive. One woman prayed to accept Jesus, praise the Lord!

Randy and Alisa connected again at dinner where we met up with Megan Espinoza an architect (raised in Portland) who works for EMI a Christian engineering nonprofit here in Uganda. We also met with Patrick our builder and our friend Pastor Hudson joined us as well. It seems the Lord is helping us make so many connections we need. We feel like we are watching His plan unfold before our eyes. Amen!
