Day -12!

Hi friends and family!

I have been told that I need a blog so that people can keep up with my journey on this trip to Uganda. I cannot promise it will be the most witty or creative thing you have ever read, but I hope that you will be moved by seeing what God is doing in this country.

Thank you for all of your financial and prayer support in the past few weeks and months. I have been incredibly blessed by each of you and it means so much that all of you helped me go on this trip. This is something I have felt called to for several years and it's been amazing to see how God has brought me to this trip.

I will update this blog as much as possible. The first week that we are there we will be visiting several different ministry sites and staying in a hotel. We will have access to internet on a fairly regular basis so I will be able to update you all on our journey. The second week we will be staying in at Canaan Children's Home. I'm not sure what our access to internet will be like but since we will be with the kids 24/7 we will be a little busier.

Here are a few things you can be praying for right now:

-safe travels
-team unity
-pure hearts, clear minds and good attitudes
-we would follow the Lord's direction in everything we do
-our hearts will be impacted by the people we encounter
-our lives will be changed forever and that we will never forget what we experience there
-I will be able to suppress the urge to come back with a cute Ugandan baby!

So that last one was (kind of) a joke, but the rest are going to be vital to our trip. You can also be praying for each ministry site we will visit. I have posted links at the bottom of the page to the ministries that have websites. The others include the Sangaalo baby home and the Karamojong women.

Thank you again for being by my side on this exciting journey!!
