Things have been going very well over here. I've been continuing to host the sports and games night every Wednesday with the students from the local Bible College. They have been enjoying it so much we decided to add another night a week, so that has been really encouraging for me. It really shows me how much they appreciate the time they spend over here. We've also continued to organize the street children in the fields and are preparing to get practices started again in order to be ready for our second tournament that begins in December during the school holiday. I've also really been enjoying the time i've been spending at James and Nora's house just down the street from my house here in Soroti. James and Nora have taken in 22 orphans between the ages of 3 and 15 and every Saturday they put on a Bilbe study for the children that stay there as well as for the children of the neighborhood. I go to help out with some of the teaching and then after that we begin playing soccer or tag or anything else the children want to do. Its very rewarding to me to be able to spend time with the children as well as James and Nora who are great Christian examples for these kids. We just finished making 2500 Christmas cards that will be shipped to Canada and sold there in order to have some income for the house hold to support the children they've taken in. Now that they are finished with the cards they will resume making jewelry to sell in the market and to visitors who are around here.
Also dry season has begun and it is getting very hot over here. It used to rain about 4-5 nights a week when I first arrived but now its about once a week if that. Its definately going to be a shock when i return to the Michigan winter in January.
In just over 2 weeks my family will be heading out here for the month of December, so i'm very excited for them to get here and see all of the ministry areas that the team and myself are involved in here in Uganda. Please pray for safe travels for the family and that their trip may be a great experience.
