Reunions

Some quick pictures this morning of reunions in the last week.

What a blessing to have already established relationships this time and not be merely strangers in a strange land!!

Sunday we worshiped at Nebbi Town Africa Gospel Church.

Here Billy and the girls are with Pastor Cosmas, our friend and great translator Geoffrey and Pastor Benson, holding Lucy.

Here Elsie Jayne and Lucy sit inside Cosmas' home with Pastor Benson.


This sweet girl spoke NO English, so I didn't even get her name in my limited Alur, but she was determined to carry Lucy who was her equal or greater weight, but at least four years younger! Oh the joys of food in America!!!


One of my dearest friends in Nebbi is Jane. She is seated behind the table that is her shop. She is giving Elsie Jayne a chapati. EJ is already eatting one you can see, but Jane was so excited that she was enjoying them...i think we went away with about 8 between the two girls!!!

Our precious watchman and friend, Simon was DELIGHTED to have his friend Billy back around! The place was lonely without us he says. He has faithfully been here daily the 8 months we were away. His father-in-law is dying of throat cancer...there is no treatment for him and he has been sent home to die. Will you pray for Beatrice, Simon's wife? She is a good friend and it is her dad who is dying. Thanks.

One of the greatest joys since being back is finding my friends Jennifer and Eva are both back in Arua. They had gone to Kampala to study and find work, but Eva has graduated and work wasn't to be found down there. They asked right away to begin bible study this week!!! What fun to get to study God's Word together as sisters-in-Christ seeking Him!

My friend Alice had a baby girl while we were away, so it has been fun to get to know Sarah this week as well!!!
