Financially for one thing God has provided so well on this trip. Through friends and family being moved to give and also by strangers who feel all the sudden that they want to be generous! Some of these have been Christian locals who have a culture of hospitality but some have not, like the guy yesterday in line who asked me if I knew if credit cards would be excepted at the store, I told him I was in line with the same question. So, when we found that they did except, but with a minimum purchase of ten dollars, we looked at our small items, he turning to me and saying, "Tell you what, let's grab ten dollars worth and I will pay for it." "All I wanted was this." I laughingly replied, but he insisted that I must find something more. So, I chose a nice looking cheesy pastry and he chose a chocolate bar for me, proceeding to generously pay for everything. This is an example of the favor that has been following me, thank you for praying for favor!
Some of the other blessings have been wild life. On the bus ride from Arua Uganda to Kampala Uganda, I saw baboons, antelope, little monkeys strange birds and two elephants!
I also have been able to see some natural wonders like lake Albert, lake Victoria and a teak forest.
The two biggest blessings of all though have been the rich spirits of the African people and the closeness of The Lord through it all.
I thank Him for being Emanuel, "God with us."
Love you all!
