I had a great time this past weekend with all of you at The Bridge in Burley! Thanks so much for your expressions of love for my kids in Budaka, and for me. You guys rock.
I talked with Rogers on Sunday and everyone is doing well. School has started and he sent me the picture you have of our kids on the first day of the 2nd term. (I look at the picture and remember how hard it is to get 31 kids to all look forward and smile [or at least look interested!].) It's so fun to see them.
The 2nd picture is of our maize growing. As you may remember, we rented land for 2 years for the restaurant. We were not able to build the restaurant, and are now doing the bakery instead, but we are using the land to grow crops for food for the kids. Thanks for praying - we continue to listen and learn to adjust. We should get several bags of maize from this land, which will give our kids posho for a couple of months. (Posho is a staple of Ugandan food.)
Here are upcoming scheduled times I will be speaking and/or presenting pictures and videos of Cornerstone. Would love to see you!
- Hesperia CA, New Life Chapel, Sunday, May 27, 8:30 and 10:30 am services
- Santa Fe Springs CA, Florence Avenue Foursquare, Wednesday, May 30, morning chapel
- Newark, CA, Saturday, June 2, 4pm
- Hillsboro, OR, Monday, June 11, 7pm
- Hillsboro, OR, Sunday, July 1, 1pm
- Cottage Grove, OR, Sunday, July 8, morning service
Thanks so much for all the clothes, shoes, books and baking items you all have given us to take back. Some of you have said you are still bringing things. It would help a lot if we could have everything by July 1 so we can get a good idea of what will go back with us and what will come with the next team. We are still in need of:
- reading books (up to Grade 3)
- fine tip permanent markers
- small digital clock
