Father Heart seminar

I recently took in a 3-day seminar at a nearby retreat center which is run by 2 Dutch women. I was thankful for the chance to get away and have some intentional time of learning and praying. I came away challenged and refreshed.
Jeremiah was a big hit amongst the attendees. One woman, who is from the North, exclaimed excitedly the first day, "This is the first muzungu (white) baby I've ever seen!"

Visiting friends

A few weeks ago we spent an evening with our friends, Julius and Irene, their daughter, Precious, and Irene's sister, Ruth. Julius teaches Elijah piano. We enjoyed hearing their story about how God brought them together.

Pastor Fred, one of Nate's students from the Butagaya class, has recently taken over the teaching of the Kagoma class. We are excited to see his passion to share the training he has received.

An evening walk

In the cool evenings we sometimes will take a family walk about 1/2 mile from our home on a golf course bordering the Nile River. On this evening we were thrilled to see monkeys. We don't often see them. You can see the one on the ground, and you'll have to look closely to see the one in the center of the tree. There were several more higher up. They seemed slightly perturbed at the noisy children disturbing their peace. They soon swung down from the tree and scampered off into the bush.
