Oct 12th - Wednesday update

Greetings from Eugene, Oregon! We have been here for 3 days and will leave today, heading for Burley, Idaho! I had the chance to speak at Day Spring Fellowship on Sunday, then to go to 2 schools, a preschool in Eugene and an elementary school in Elmira. The first picture you have is of Abby and I with the preschool class. We have had a great time with family, at Day Spring, the schools and with many of you we have been able to meet individually. Thank you all for your support of Cornerstone and the kids in Budaka!

The second picture is of a school in Austin where we shared with all the 3rd graders. We showed pictures and had a table with items made by Ugandans. The kids got to file past and look at all the stuff, as you can see.

Great news from Rogers: 6 of our kids were selected to be on a radio program in Budaka. The host interviewed them about their experiences at Cornerstone Children's Home and Cornerstone Learning Centre (the school). He said he keeps getting calls from people who heard the broadcast, asking about having their children at the school. People have been amazed at how well our children present themselves, and how good their English is! Basically, this became free advertising for the school. We are praising God for it.

Would you pray with us for Sarah, our newest child? Although the sore on her leg is healing, another patch has begun on another part of her leg. Betty (Rogers' wife) will be taking her back to the doctor today to find out what is going on. Also, the medicine she was taking began making her sick, so we need to find something that will help her without making her sick. Please pray for her today.

Mutwahiru goes back to his hospital tomorrow - please pray for the trip (4 hours) and that the doctors will have wisdom. We are hoping he will get the metal apparatus out of his leg this time. The plan is that once the apparatus is out, they will wait about 8 months and then begin the process of lengthening his leg. The doctor has told Mutwahiru that he will play football (soccer) again, and he is really excited!

Thank you all for your support and encouragement in our endeavors in Budaka. God is at work...and we get to be a part of what He is doing there. Have a great day!

Laurie
