Let the weak say I am strong Let the poor say I am rich Let the blind say I can see It’s what the Lord has done in me I’ve been thinking about what the Lord has done in me while I’ve been here. In four days, I’m going home. But is it really home? […]
My second and third “How Great Thou Art” moments happened in the same weekend. We went on safari with the Brown family at Paraa Safari Lodge. On our first night there, we went on our first ever game drive. WOW! How Great Thou Art! I was overwhelmed by all of the beautiful animals that the […]

Yesterday, on our way back from Jinja, we stopped to get pineapples and jackfruit, which is a green spiky fruit, about the size of a watermelon. It tastes kind of like bad, old banana candy and has the consistency of a stringy, chewy pineapple. I, personally, think it’s disgusting, but some people like it. When […]
Pray for them. Pray for the children. Pray the precious souls who have been suffering will find comfort in the Lord. Who have been waiting in an orphanage for someone to save them.
