Service Day

Hello I'm back because everyone is pretty tired! Today was day 4 in Wakiso and another day that no one will forget! After waking up and eating pancakes, eggs, and cereal for the 5th day we headed into Nation Changers Christian School. Although the children had the day off for "Heroes" day that did not stop them from coming to play, hug, and love on all of us "Muzungus" (white people). Our work today consisted of the boys finishing the fence with might I add not having the Ugandans laughing at their work ethic lol! The girls worked on filling the playground with a sand pit and finished cementing the ground of the playground! By far the most fulfilling part of our work was painting a mural of flowers that enclosed the verse Deuteronomy 31:6 that was painted in the girls house at the school. It was truly amazing to do something that will inspire the wonderful girls to be strong and rely on God! Later of course we had our fun activities that included jump rope, bubbles, decorating crowns and masks, Sharks and Minos, duck duck goose, and the universal game of basketball! I think today was a pivotal moment in our hearts because we created relationships that we don't want to ever forget! I don't know about you but after girls tell you they love you in their language, boys won't let go of you no matter what, or the adults are so joyful to have you bring happiness into their lives it is truly something magical. It is safe to say that our hearts are being radically changed by the kids and by our wonderful Creator! Love you all and your kids, brothers, sisters, and friends miss you! See you later!
