Until we leave for Uganda....WOW!!!!!
We have been on this journey for quite some time now and it seems so surreal to me that our trip is in 9 days! That means we leave next week! :) :) :) I wish you could see my face as I type this because I am grinning from ear to ear. I cannot tell you how incredibly blessed we feel that the Lord has called us to this journey. It may only be for a short time, but we know that God has us traveling to Uganda for a purpose- His Kingdom's purpose.
We met our fundraising goal!!! We are so thankful for those who supported our decision to go to Uganda and gave to us financially. We pray many blessings to you in return! We have also been blown away by the amount of generosity that so many people have shown to us and to the Children of the orphanages we will visit. We have received so many clothes, school supplies, medicines, and dollar donations that I could never show my appreciation enough. Even my students in my classroom have gotten their parents to donate scissors and glue- its just awesome to see my sweet students reaching out to other children they don't even know! We literally put the word out there for items we needed and within minutes and hours, someone on our team posted to our facebook page that the need was met. That's incredible!
My dear husband asked me tonight if we had any plans for Friday night- I said...um yes...PACKING! and a little house cleaning of course. We'll be ready after this! :)
I will try to post next week a list of things to pray for each day while we are gone. Your prayers are the most important to us! I'm also hoping to at least post a couple of times while we are there to keep you updated!!
Thank you for being a blessing in our lives-
Peace and Love~
