The team arrived from their long journey yesterday evening. I know that God brought each one of them here to do a special work and be glorified in it! It is going to be an exciting next couple of weeks. This morning the team is walking the dirt road between Opeta and Otwal. It really influences the Ugandans when we get on their level and just work or walk alongside them. Many of them actually think that the munos aren’t capable of walking more than half a mile or riding a bike. J I’m sure they will be seeing many beautiful smiles as the people laugh out loud at the peculiar sight of the girls walking.
Today MariAnne, Becky, and I are going out to recognize Alibi which is the first of three PRICELESS classes graduating this week. Alibi has always been so difficult to work with and I am proud of our teachers, Anna Betty and Hilda Mercy, for stepping up and sticking to this class and making it a success. Today, Becky is getting to witness her first graduation and is the guest speaker in the ceremony which is serious business here.
Tomorrow we will partner with the teams and have a rally in Opeta to follow up with PRICELESS girls who have gone through the program, disciple mothers, and raise excitement and awareness for the Biblical concepts we are teaching. The teams are preparing to go talk to them about truth, honesty, their tremendous value and identity in Christ, forgiveness, and honoring their temple. Also this week, our nurses will be going to schools and teaching on HIV/AIDS education. Pastor Walter has planned a program for Matt, Kevin, and himself to be carrying out this week. Please pray this week for hearts to be softened and open to the life changing message they will receive.
