Woke up had the normal breakfast minus hard boiled eggs. They ran out of eggs. So the usual pineapple, watermelon and toast was on the agenda for me. After breakfast had our family time and shared about the day before and sang some worship songs. I love having my guitar with me. Being able to just grab my guitar and play and unwind from a long day is great. Plus being outside and looking at the stars is so awesome. Last night I was looking at the night sky and saw the big dipper upside down. Back home the big dipper the right side up. That was really cool. Well, today we were on our way to the village of Bupoto (Boo-po-toe). The ride was going to be about maybe two hours. I kind of like the long van or bus rides because I can take in all the culture, people and country. Where this village is located it is so beautiful. So beautiful. We arrived at the village and the kids at the village were excited to see us. They were singing and ready to greet us. They gave us all hugs and said that we were very welcome. We brought with us dresses and britches that Lord of Life made, mosquito nets and flip flops. We had enough nets, dresses, britches and flip flops for all the children in the village. Such a great feeling that they will be sleeping mosquito free. Praise the Lord! The children were so very grateful for the things they received. I cannot express in words what my feelings are about this. Other than God is good. Simple things in life is what puts a smile on these children's faces. The children have such unconditional love for us and have such beautiful smiles. They make me smile. I love taking pictures of them because when I take a picture I show them the picture on the digital camera and they love it and giggle. Sometimes this might be the first time this child has seen there face in a picture. Today was a good day. Tomorrow we are going to Smile Africa and some of us, including me will be going to a prison to pray, talk and give a gift to some of the prisoners. Let you know how that goes. Much love for all who are reading. Miss y'all and looking forward to talking to you about this country of Uganda that I have fallen in love with.
God's Peace and Love,
Raul
