Uganda+Zeke=Seven

Tuesday, May 5, 2009

Fatigue, friends, and heads

The night before we left John and Sarah Pell came over to bring us pizza and drinks and this was a wonderful practical way to love one another. I was thinking about charging 5 ipods's, buying rain jackets for the rainy season of Uganda, packing our ten suitcases, exchanging money, charging batteries, packing clothes, missionary gifts, plane tickets, passports, money pouches, and general money and they (the Pell's) were thinking about a physical need - food. It takes a village!

These are lacrosse heads that we are taking. Our local triad league donated 10 sticks and we are going to teach them (those in the orphanage) how to play lacrosse while we are there. Look for pictures in the future.

How can we help more adoption stories come to life?

Click here for a way to give online right now to the Abba Fund that is tax free or you can mail them a donation. Is your heart stirred for adoption? Also check out Carolines Promise.

People tell me (Jimmy) that we are so honorable for rescuing a baby, but as it turns out she is part of God's plan for rescuing us.

What has Jimmy learned from this?

"That whole thing Jesus says about finding your life when you lose it - he really meant that. The more I lose-the more life I gain.
