We've Got That Joy, Joy, Joy, Joy Down in Our Hearts... ...to stay!!! Today, after shopping for some needed medications and paint for a nursery mural, we made our way to the Kawete market. You can literally buy everything there  (it's a little like Wall-Mart!) Spices for all of your ailments and cooking needs... Baskets, gourds and more... Farmer's Market delight! Hand made baskets for carrying EVERYTHING! A GREAT TEAM! Walking from the market to CCLS-Uganda! The rest of our day was filled with greeting sponsor students and delivering sponsor packets. They wait so patiently as we talk with each one, take their picture and a video greeting to their sponsors. Sometimes, a sponsor is a team member!!!! The love of Jesus is present in everyone here. Thank you God for our partnership with this community and the Lutheran Church of Uganda!  ...

Day One...

Listening to "Come and Listen" by David Crowder... We arrived at our motel at 2am last night and most of us slept less than 4 hours. No worries! Today, some of us will visit Kawete for the first time and, for some, it is like coming home. There are no words to describe the pure overwhelming joy the first time one of our team members experiences the love of the CCLS-Uganda children. We are blessed to be a part of this journey. Our devotion this morning, borrowed from CCLS-St. Louis Executive Director, Matt Hoehner, focuses on "the why" versus "the what." Why are we called to be here in this place at this time?  Check back later for photos from our first day in Kawete!

Cast Your Nets... What a wonderful day!!!! Of course...it's Uganda. Today, we started off after our morning devotion toward Kawete but stopped to purchase sugar cane to use as fishing poles for the Nursery Bible Study. Darla and the team shared the story of Jesus instructing the fishermen to fish from the other side of the boat. We did role play, sang a song (thanks Megan!) and decorated fish.  Between the three medical practitioners, 84 patients were served. What a blessing to visit with a widow and her children... Thank you God for a beautiful, blessed day! We look forward to serving again tomorrow!
