Broken bodies/ happy hearts

Wow, it feels like I've been here forever!  At the bottom are a few quick pictures.    One from Clive college, then the others are quick pictures from the primary school.  

We spent the morning at the Katalemawa hospital doing worship.  This one place broke my heart over and over, mostly with wishes that these children could get better funded medical attention.  However it also strengthened my belief in family.  Here the mothers washed clothes, cooked, and worked gardens to feed their children in the hospital.  Most of them stay outside the hospital and have other families and responsibilities.  Such commitment demonstrates the love of relatives.  

The next project was a Christian Fellowship hall at Clive College.  The student choir sang, and we performed a skit about the ten virgins.  One girl sang a heartfelt, unaccompanied solo.  Such faith and love.  Also on the list today was a primary school.  These children literally mobbed us!  We did praise and worship with the kids, but really all we had to do was sing the first word and they ran away with it.  There is no stopping them!! After a skit of Paul and Silas we asked questions, marking the hands of the students who answered correctly with a pink sharpie.  Well, some got creative and smudged red pen X's on their hands so that afterwards when we gave candy to those with marks, we found the number of kids greater than the number of questions asked.  At the end they streamed onto the street so that the van could hardly move.  We all loved them, and I can't wait until we go back. 

I already know new songs and a bit of Lugandan.  We're working on teaching Jonah, the praise and worship coordinator, ukulele.  He just calls it his "tiny guitar".  Well, tomorrow we head out on Safari!  Charlie, a MST (Missionary Servant Team) seems genuinely frightened at the possibility of a lion attack.  I think we're pretty safe in God's hands!  But prayers for the safari anyway!  

I hope you enjoy the pictures!
