Kibaale 



     Our time here in Uganda is coming to a close.  We have a week left before we board our very long flight home.  We have had an incredible couple of weeks down in Kibaale at the school.  We have had the opportunity to participate in a variety of activities here.   The outreach team from Pacific Academy arrived just over a week ago and were very gracious in allowing us to help them in some of their outreach activities.  We have led devotions, helped with crafts in the Awana program, led stations at sports day for the school, we went to our new sponsor childs house to meet his family and see the needs that the family has, we were able to help in mudding a hut for one of the students here,  our kids painted a wall with animals in the staff day care, and a highlight was participating in the Palm Sunday March.
     The team from PA left this morning with Jeff and Shannon for safari and the school is quiet on this Sunday afternoon.  This week we are on own for a few days and we will do a few more home visits and spend our last couple of days with the students here.
     Michelle has definitely found her place in the class room with the special needs kids, most of the kids are deaf so she has enjoyed them teaching her sign language.  It was so amazing to watch her with the students on sports day as she helped lead them to the different stations.  They told her that they were scared to come and participate but that she made them feel special.  She goes everyday at 2 to spend a couple of hours in their class, doing crafts with them and learning with them.  Ally and Kylie have enjoyed spending time in the staff day care, helping out, playing with the kids, I think they have each become attached to certain little kids in the daycare.  Both girls also took a turn leading their own devotion this past week in the P4 class, no help from me just the girls stepping up and taking charge.  I think this has been one of the most rewarding things to observe here is seeing my girls step up and lead and participate and use the gifts and talents that the Lord has blessed them with.
