...have been my home for 5 days, and now on the sixth, I am FINALLY able to get up and step beyond the door to those four walls.
***********************************************
I would first like to once again THANK YOU for all of the prayers, positive thoughts and encouraging words that have come this way. It has been uplifting to be on the receiving end of your emails, comments and texts.. I know my mom and I are both very appreciative and blessed!
"Thank you."
***************************************
Thursday I began my climb upwards, but quickly hit a plateau and slowly staggered backwards. What a tease! However, my body has finally decided to cooperate and get with the program, so complete healing is my light at the end of the tunnel!
Yesterday (Friday)
The group went by the orphanage to pick up the children, and bussed over to the Nile river. (Yeah, totally bummed I missed out on that day..) It was a very tight fit and a long ride from the sound of things, but worth it. The group walked away with stories and memories, and the children topped it off by being there to join in.
Four of the group members even made the decision to get baptized in the Nile.. what an experience! Because I was not there for any of it tho, I have no pictures to show :/ BUT, as soon as I can get my hands on some good'ns, Ill post em up for y'all to take a gander at!
Today (Saturday)
I stayed behind with the other two girls who have been fighting fevers. I am finally feeling like myself (the last 2 days were teasers.. thought I was on the up and up, but not so much) Regardless, I am happy to be better today so that I can help take care of these two who have stayed behind. They are doing much better, but still dragging their feet a little. (Prayers for their healing would be much appreciated!) The rest of the group headed off to the slums for another medical clinic.. I believe this one is the biggest clinic of them all (???) I will know more upon the return of our group. I can always count on my mamacita to fill me in on the days events :)
So until I know more, the one thing I would ask of you all out there is prayer, prayer, prayer!
Not just for the team members who are sick (and of course those who are healthy), but for the people here in Uganda. It's just not the same unless you physically come here and experience it..
Thank you again for everything!
We have 5 more full days of adventure here, and by God's good grace I WILL be healthy enough to experience and share! So once again my faithful readers, there will be more to come... :)
