Right now, i'm sitting in Jinja Uganda. The window is open, which allows the cool air to blow in and make me feel nice and cozy. We've been here for about 1 week now, and things are going really well. Tuesday was an absolutely wonderful day! As soon as we arrived at the school, we jumped right into playing with the kids. They love the beach ball we brought (unfortunetly a little boy bit a hole in it, so we're gonna try and find a new one). They love to hit it around, and throw it to their friends. And they love jump rope too!
Yesterday as we we're doing a physical education class with some of the kids, i saw a girl standing by a near by tree. She doesnt understand much English, she doesnt go to school, but she loves to play. She played monkey in the middle with us, and she jumped rope with some of the other girls. I eventually learned her name, but i dont remember it. I was hoping she would've showed up again today, but she didn't. I wish i could've given her a piece of candy, or a bracelet, or something... but i trust God, and I know he will have his way in that young girls life.
I'm going outta my mind right now, and it feels good. I like the fact that these children challenge me. Even though im tired at the end of the day, and even though many things are different, i wouldn't have it any other way.
If theres one thing i want to do on this trip, i want the children to know true love. I want them to know Jesus.
Love is Patient. Love is Kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, It is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no
record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. LOVE NEVER FAILS.
- 1 Corinthians 13: 4-8
