Well God continues to show me His amazing love, grace, and mercy as this journey continues. When you invite God in, NOTHING is impossible. There have been so many God moments during the course of the last week in Cape Town.
Not only did I feel God's love for me through all the amazing women and kids in Langa, but the staff that exceeded our expectations with the beautiful beach home we stayed in, the incredible meals they prepared for us, and the over the top extra mile the whole staff took for the women's conference. The women couldn't repay us, and to be quite honest there was no way we would afford to have something so lavish and glamorous for them. Elaine and Neil really went over the top, giving their VERY best. All the workers gave their best. We were all excited to help. We should ALWAYS give our best, not because we want something in return, but because it is what God gives us and expects us to give others. I am still in awe of everything they did for us. I am definately missing my Cape Town family and team!
God is at work, His Word is alive. It isn't about us figuring out what God wants us to do. Don't limit God to what we can ask. He does MORE than what we can ask or imagine.
Hollie and I made it to Uganda. Can I say culture shock? The landscape and climate is even completely different; red dirt roads, green lush plants, plam trees, and muggy air flood my senses. Streets are filled with busy people rushing everywhere, cars and motorcycles weaving in and out of traffic.
We arrived very late in Jinja, about 11:00pm. Hollie and I went to bed shortly after we got home. We woke up after a great nights sleep and headed to Our Own Home. We spent the whole day with the kiddos. I can't begin to tell you how much joy they brought to us today. We are now called, "Mommy Meg" and "Mommy Hollie." They all have such vibrant personalities and are so outgoing. We colored, played futbol, played Old Maid, and just loved on all of the children today. Hollie and I just loved today. :)
Thank you for everybody praying for us. We love you dearly.
Meg and Hollie
