Two in a row!

Hi again,

So far this is working for a few minutes at least.

Kitgum was very tiring with a lot to do in a short period of time, however most everything was accomplished. I visited the infant care center where we found Nancy and Bosco in 2006. Terrance was back and getting things back on track. The Mc Courtney's were able to get Tabu living with them, praise God. Interesting I found info about Rabunge Kenny, the HIV child all held that we thought would soon die...he is alive and well and living with his father....and ready to go to nursery school...so I put him in school, knowing Cheryl especially would want me to. He was so cute and active and healthy looking. Also visite the disabled school, stocked everyone up on their meds. Saw Nancy and sisters and mother ...Bosco and sister had already returned to america for school.
The highlight was going out to their village Awal camp again and visiting their grandfather and family in the camp. They came running with big smiles and jumping for joy....hard to believe I am priveliged enough to even be remembered as a part of their lives after all they have been through with the LRA war. Grandfather Paustino has started moving his family to their own land....clearing it...putting up new huts etc. It was so exciting to see the hope in them return. We were able to bless them with the news of the two oxen, milk cow, plow and seeds coming ....I'm told Paustino nearly fainted....at least he was speechless. The was the perfect timing for their life to begin anew again on their own land. We also delivered seeds, clothes, shoes etc. We all prayed together and it was wonderful....the land and atmosphere was so beautiful. Thanks to all of you who donated from your hearts to make this happen....my visit was simply and extension of you all! It was so joyful and made a difference.

I was pretty tired after all of this travel, however, got on the 5 am bus to Masindi where I stopped on the farm again, took a much needed afternoon rest. Also, went and saw the gardens and they were growing! The cow peas had come up well and some of the others, especially the tomatoes! Thanks to VBB for the seeds...they have all made such a difference!

Next moved on to Kampala, so I could take 5 children to the sickle cell center in Mulago hospital to see the professor. He was kind enough to take us right away, then spent the day getting the lab tests, xrays and meds....all went well however. Tom and Jean will be happy to know Rachel does not have sickle cell! Then back to Kayunga to help Terry get the kids in school and sort out some of their medical needs with the school nurse. Aunt Vicky's well is working well and Bugogge village is completed, just waiting the finishing cement work. Everyone was so grateful!

Then on to Jinja to see Kenny and Prichard's family and distribute the gifts from Kenny. All love the thoughtfull items Kenny sends with me since he is unable to go himself. Then on to Kampala with Terry to do some errands, get lab results....work on some of the process for Roger...pray the process goes smooth for his medical care in the US. Also, Dave, a surprise for you.

I am headed to Entebbe to CC and to go on the Lake Victoria Island Medical Outreach. Well, time is up....more later.

Thanks again for the prayers...they are sustaining me!

Love, Nadines
