ARUA

                                " I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living "
                                                                     Psalm 27:13a


Jesus has blessed our family with the gift of a trip to Arua, the town we used to live in.  We started our journey last Thursday and drove the 10 hours up to what some of us know as "Home, Home"
On Friday we went to the only pool in Arua, and had lunch and swam. One  of dads friends came and joined us.  Then on Saturday many of our friends and old neighbours came and we drank a lot of juice and had a lot of G-nuts ( groundnuts) it was so good for all of us to see each other.  Sunday morning we went  to a church  that some of our friends pastor. That afternoon we went to a graduation party for some friends of ours. The next morning we got up early to come back to Entebbe but we passed through the game park, we saw elephants, giraffe, cob, hearta beast, and lion!
 We are so thankful to Jesus for helping us to see the right people and have made MANY  happy memories.
Thank you all for your prayers we could tell you were praying, it made a difference.

There were pastors everywhere.......

                  Johns disciples asked Jesus, " Where are you staying?"

                     Jesus replied," Come and see."

                                                       John 1:38-39

   Last week our family hosted 30 pastors in our house.  There were pastors everywhere, in the school room, my room, Lucy's room, the twins room, and Aubrey's rooms.  All of us kids slept with mom and dad in their  room ( We thought a lot of  small thoughts! )  The pastors training was three days long, we had devotions in the morning then we had lessons on ministry and missions,then there was a 

 tea break.   After tea we whent back for more lessons on the Bible as well as Farming Gods Way. 

 In the evenings they whent out for evangelism, during that time 12 people came to know Jesus!  Then at 8:00 we had a yummy dinner of rice, beans, matoka*, and G-nut* sauce.  Hosting that many people was a lot of hard work, it was also so much fun to be able to sit in on the different lessons and learn so much.  We praise Jesus for helping our time go smoothly, thank you all so much for caring us in prayer this past week.
