Jan 18th

Crazy to think that it has been more than one week and we have been back in Uganda. There is so much that has been happening that it feels like it has been a month. We were so glad to find our house and the church still standing. Many repairs are needed at school in the next week and a half before it begins, like the fence in the front is falling down and setting up the class rooms. Church attendance is a bit low, but we are believing that it will pick up as soon as the holiday is over.

It is so great to be at home. The girls are just loving having all their toys back and be able to dig in the dirt. Keeping them clean is the hardest thing to try to do. Good thing that they can just get thrown in the bath and be clean again. Keziah is almost ready to crawl and it has been so much fun to see her change and move more everyday. Abijah and Lydia are looking forward to school on the 30th. Abijah says that she wants to go to school so that she can learn to write. Great ambitions.

Today David started the teachers seminar at school. We are needing to hire some new teachers this year as some left towards the end of last year. Primary 7 Leaving Exams came out today on the District level. It will just be a few days and we will know how our students did. We are excited to know that.

As for me, I have just been trying to move back in and get comfortable again. Also just trying to keep up on the laundry as there has been a water shortage and catching when the power is on too. Still have many bags to unpack, but that is going to have to wait for awhile.

There has been a lot of stress and pressure as we have come back. Been focusing so much on how God has always been faithful and trusting that he will continue. Also know that He will not give us more than we can handle.  Keep us in your prayers, especially for finances to be enough to meet our needs. Thanks a lots.
