All Moved In
After a week I am now in my new apartment. It was quite an accomplishment! 10pm Uganda time we moved in under the veil of darkness - and it wasn't easy. Unfortunately, the bed wasn't complete yet, so some guys were sawing and hammering for an hour... Everything is slow here
The difference 1 year can make
I am reading my old journal from St Croix and one year ago as I prepared to leave to return to Michigan I wrote this... "It will be ok. I will give you more children than you can imagine. Be ready when I call and go when I say to. Study my word and prepare your heart and fa
Being frugal to save more money for orphans
