Greetings from Uganda!
I can't even begin to tell you all our experiences of today... It has been a very long day as well as busy. We began the day here at the Hotel with breakfast all together. We went to visit the Kusabi Tombs and learned a lot about the history of uganda. We traveled over to Pastor Nelsons orphanage and what a treat that was . The children were so glad to see us. They sang to us and that was truly a blessing! We then went to see where his his church was and were greeted again by so many children. They need to be loved just like any one of us,the only difference is that they didn't get very much attention it seemed and they came to us. It reminds me of the picture in my children's Bible where the children were all gathered at Jesus' feet. We have really had an eye opener here. It is unbelievable. Please please pray for us tomorrow as we go there again for worship and have other things like carnival, medical, and teaching with them. This has been a day of many many tears for me and the others in our group. We love and miss you all back home. We will be praying for all of you Please do the same for us. God Bless You, Rebecca Shelnutt

You are all in our prayers. Hoping for a safe and successful trip, and that you touch the lives in Uganda as you touch the lives here at home.
