WOW! A little less than a month left!
So the past three weeks we have been traveling doing village ministry. We went to orphanages, Western Kenya, and Uganda. God has been faithful through out this trip. He has led people to the Lord and shown His power and Majesty. Western Kenya was a 6 hour bus ride. We went and stayed in different homes that were made out of mud. These people were the most generous people I have ever met in my life. They really dont have a lot either. There is no electricty or running water, and yet they gave so much. They really blessed me by their faith and generosity. I have definately been stretched out of my comfort zone which has been really good. This trip has also caused me to see how the Lord is ALL we need. This life is but a vapor and HE is the only one that can satisfy you in every way. During our trip to Western we played with kids from different orphanges, put gutters on churches and went door to door and prayed over families and their homes. These people are the happiest people ever. They welcomed us and were so excited to have visitors. They say that having visitors is a blessing from God. Wow. When we arrived to one of the orphanages I got off the bus and wwalked down to this dusty road and all I could hear were children singing we are happy today we are happy today because we have guests and they ran to us like a mob. I thought I was going to get trampled. It was so funny! The feeling I had was just overhwhelming I definately felt the love of the Lord through these children. The last place we went during this time perios was Uganda. LONGEST BUS RIDE OF MY LIFE! But it was woth it. It was just out of pleasure. The team and I went and rafted the Nile River. It was gorgeous!!! Also the biggest and longest rapids I have ever seen. It was awesome! It was also good just to rest and fellowship with the team. We stayed their 2 days and traveled 2. On one of the days off I rode a bota bota (motorcycle) to town. It was AWESOME! How often do you get to ride on a bota bota with no helmet to town in the dirt. It felt very freeing. I went to the town called JINJA, and they have little markets and such. It was cool. Well,
Nicole!! I miss you! I hope Africa is going wonderfully! Can't wait to hear all about it.
