It's a BEAUTIFUL day!

Today is a BEAUTIFUL day in Kampala!
Warm...with a rain shower during lunch...and everything is just shining!

Yesterday was church and it was an AMAZING service! Nothing can explain the way these people experience Jesus here.
One song they sang says...
Say to those who are fearful hearted
Do not be afraid
The Lord your God will come
And with His mighty arm
When you call on His Name
He will come and save you

Chorus:
He will come and save you
He will come and save you
Say to the weary one
Your God will surely come
He will come and save you
He will come and save you
Lift up your eyes to Him
You will arise again
He will come and save you

Say those who are broken hearted
Do not lose your faith
The Lord your God will come
And with His loving hand
When you call on His Name
He will surely come
This song broke my heart to hear these people SHOUT it to God. It was amazing to hear them...hurting..begging...and praising God for what they do have. They are so PROUD of the God they serve!
Later that night...we went and watched African dancing at the heritage center! It was SO amazing!!! We watched lots of different dancing styles and they played African drums as well....my brother Alex would've been AMAZED!...(I recorded them for him!)
I have LOTS of pictures and videos...but the internet is so slow here and would take a long time to load them...so when I get home...all of the videos and pictures will be loaded...It's only been one week...and I have SO many videos and pictures!
Today we just explored the city and got to play Muslim for a little bit...(They made us girls cover up when we went into the mosque!)We went to a baby's home...with hundreds of babies...laying around...crawling...begging for us to hold them...I just hugged and kissed on all of them for as long as I could...these babies just wanted the touch of another human being...so I did what I could!
We walked ALL over and tried NEW food! AMAZING!
We are about to go eat dinner and then relax the rest of the night!
I miss my boys from the home...but tomorrow they will be here and I cannot wait!
Keep praying because I know God is working here!
Love you!
