Olyotya. How are you? Jendi. I am fine.
We are getting along here in Uganda quite nicely this month. We are getting set into our schedules and projects are being completed here and there. Arley and I have come to the understanding that the weather is the same as it is in Minnesota, minus the drastic temperature change of course.
‘If you don’t like the weather, just wait a while’!
It changes at least three times through out the day.
Arley has been busy building and fixing. Two weeks ago, he took down the top half of a water tower at the Christian Leadership Academy (CLA) that will be used at the new guest house where he has also been installing waterlines. The students at CLA have re-dug an existing trench from the bore hole to the water tower, removing the old line so that Arley could help install a new one which has also been completed. Arley has welded a pole and frame for the solar panels that have been mounted by the bore hole to provide power for the water pump so that CLA will have running water once again.
I have been helping in setting up a pharmacy for the clinic this week and helped in designing a prescription slip for the nurses to use when prescribing medicines. We were able to help out with two activity days in the surrounding community.
Bosco, the director of children’s affairs, has such a wonderful ministry with these kids. Once a month, he goes to four schools (one per week) and has praise and worship, bible stories, games, health talks, prayer and a word of wisdom. We hope to continue going with, every Saturday, until we come back to the states.
Last month was rough for Solomon. As many of you know, he received two stitches after falling on a glass glass, was hit with a metal grate and got a big knot on the side of his head, and got his foot caught in a bicycle tire and lost some skin. He is doing so much better since your prayers and I am happy to report that there has been no more incidents since then!
Some things I have for prayer at this time;
- Continuing health for the kids and ourselves so that God could continue to use us for His glory.
- The kids have been pushing boundaries the past few weeks. Please pray that they would feel secure and safe with our new schedules and that Abraham especially would feel peace.
- Pray for a safe return for Maggie, a missionary coming back from the states on March 11 and also that we would be able to connect with them.
- We have been receiving some needed funding, but still have a ways to go. Pray that God would release the funds that we need.
Blessings,
