We spent out last Saturday afternoon at Katie's house. This was the first time that I really got to help because Asher was finally warming up to the dogs and the abundance of children. He even got in the mix and helped us bag food for the children to take home. It was a special time. I am so glad that I got to share it with Lindsey and Ryan as well. My whole day was made, however, when I walked into the gate and saw Josie; she squealed, "Auntie!" and started climbing over children to get to me. I guess eight trips to Kampala is enough to bond anybody for life! I am going to miss Josie, Katie, Mary Pat, Christine, and all of Katie's girls. I don't think I realized how much I had grown to love that family over the past six weeks. I pray God's blessings over them. Here are just a few of the pictures we took.

Helping serve today was truly a privilege. Thank you, Katie, for opening your home and for letting us be a part of what God is doing through you and your ministry. We love you, sister.

Wonderful experience and pictures. So looking forward to seeing Asher here in the US. And you! Love you.
ReplyDeleteThis made me cry!! I am actually feeling jealous you are still there! I am so thankful you got to engage fully like that at Katie's. It is an awesome (and HOT!) experience, isn't it?! So anxious to hear how everyone is doing. I know it must've melted your heart for Josie to respond that way to you! OH my goodness! It melts mine just reading about it! Can't wait til she's right here with all of us aunties! :-)
