Week 4 | Uganda

Well, its coming to a month of being on the other side. And it has really flown by! 

Week 4 was a pretty easy going week, and I don't have to much of  an update. But the project this week at Suubi school has been gathering the children together by different classes and helping them write letters to their sponsors.  

Its very cute the things they write and draw to their sponsors. They write from their heart and love to share everything. And they also LOVE receiving letters from their sponsors as well. 


This letter writing process takes a few days to complete when you have 216 kids. We start out with a rough draft, edit, and then they rewrite once or twice more. Then we scan and email each letter out to the respective sponsors. This happens after each quarter. 


One of the common things you will see upon coming to the village of Bukeka is children and woman kneel when they greet a man or when recognize someone with a higher authority than them. Its not a belittling act or a demand from someone. But a sign of respect and and "want to" attitude from the person kneeling. 


So if you sponsor a child from Global Hands of Hope - Uganda, you'll be receiving a letter soon! :)


Mid-morning snack during break time at school consist of a cup of porridge. 
The children are given 2 meals a day at Suubi. 


My sweet girls


Enjoyed a beautiful wedding of a dear friend with this sweet sister. 
This woman inspires me more than anyone I've ever met. So thankful for her friendship, guidance, and companionship while living this side.

Changes

Yup big changes! I'm moving...to Fairbury, Illinois, in less than a month. Who would have ever thought? Definitely was not in my plans to be doing, or ever doing! But God had a different plan in mind, and I know its a greater plan than I could have ever come up with. But if it would have been my choice, Illinois would have been definitely not on the top of my list. Don't get me wrong I love the people, but it's just a little to fast paced for me, has no dirt roads or even gravel for that matter, and there's lots n lots of people and towns and houses! :) A little different from what I'm used to here in Bern, Kansas! But I'm getting more excited. It's going to be a big adjustment tho. I'm gonna miss my dear, crazy, awesome, maybe a little odd at times, Family so much! And my wonderful friends, whom I will dearly miss! But don't worry I will be home a lot!....I think! :) And the big open spaces where you can't see anything or anyone for miles around...

Greetings from.....Oh wait...I'm still here in Kansas and still alive. Doing what I love. Working with and milking cows and more cows, anticipating the upcoming Kansas State Fair and the World Dairy Expo! And attempting to teach the kiddos again. Which has been going much more smoothly than last year. Even tho yes, I'd much rather be outside, it has been a great experience for me and I think I'm learning more than the kids. :) When God says 'He won't give us more than we can't handle' is very true. Because I really don't know how I've made it a year and now starting an other year helping the kids with school. Don't get me wrong, I just love spending time with my siblings and I love them to the moon and back, but teaching just isn't my thing. Thus it is a tremendous experience for me and teaching me so many things! God has a crazy way putting us through things to learn crazy amazing things! I recently was at Ignite, a Church function in Il...
