Where has the time gone?

I cannot believe my time here in Kampala is coming to an end. Today is my last day at the school and tomorrow Angela (the new VIA) and I will be heading up to Arua. I am looking forward to living in a new city and meeting new people, but I will greatly miss my friends here in Kampala. I have come to know and love our guards, the staff at the school, the pastors, the store owners, and the friendly boda boda driver ;) and I am sad to leave all of them. Yet I am excited I have the opportunity to experience a new city and new ministry! I am not sure what is in store for me in Arua, but I know God will continue to guide each step I take, just as He has in Kampala. I know I have said this many times before, but I am so blessed to be here. I am so blessed to share in fellowship with the people of Uganda and all the missionaries here!
Sunday, Leeann took Angela and I to a church way out in the middle of tea fields, called Nakigalala. It was so beautiful I couldn't stop taking pictures. But what was far more beautiful was the spirit of the people at the church!! We did not tell them we were visiting so they were so surprised to see us. We were greeted with undeserved cheers and praises. Although I would normally consider my visiting a church as nothing special, but here it is. Just our presence there gives them such encouragement and joy. I am so thankful that by just showing up to church I am able to be an encouragement and support to the people of Nakigalala. The church is in the process of making bricks to build a new church and hopefully a daycare school. The current church is made of papyrus reeds and is easily torn up and not stable. Please be in prayer for the church as they find the resources to build.
