Each trip has been a little different

Hello everyone. This is my third trip to Uganda and each trip has been a little different each with their own highs and lows. We visited Kiyindi again today. We had a tour of the health clinic and although some things have not changed we received information regarding family planning that were encouraging. Family planning now has its own building beside the clinic and an organization meets with local people to advise them on what is available to prevent more children. Another thing that the women are, mostly, responsible for because, most, men don’t want to take responsibility. They have the pill (in pill form), monthly injections of the pill, and iud’s. It is available for those who will take advantage of it. It is a small step but it is a step in the right direction.

After leaving the clinic we went to Kiyindi school, visited a few sponsored children, the students performed a cultural dance for us and we did 6 more home visits to see children who need sponsors. The students performing the cultural dance was fantabulous. The girls dancing and singing in traditional dress and the boys playing the drums. We have been on 15 home visits since we arrived and we thank God for the 12 out of 15 that have been sponsored. Yay 😁

We returned to the guest house around 6pm and we all sat around to chat and listen about our next steps. We are being made aware of what is happening back home and Corrie is looking after everything from the Canada side. We know that this trip and our return are both in the hands of God. We are trusting that it will all unfold as God has planned it…..

We finished our evening off with all of us in the guest house sitting around the table listening to familiar voices from home. We watched John and Gail’s sermon from Sunday and we are all encouraged and feel the love over here in Uganda. Thank you for your message and thank you for all your prayers. I want you to know that we are still enjoying our time and the Ugandan people. We are continuing with all things scheduled, the workshops start tomorrow morning and those who aren’t helping with workshops are taking part in the WASH program. We love you and miss you all and cannot wait to have our feet back on Canadian soil. ❤️
