As Ruth and I continue to thank God
for the beautiful house and compound He has provided here in the city, we
opened our home to our first international guests, none other than our Precious
Jewels friends from the Philippines (2 Canadians and 1 Filipina). What a joy to reconnect our worlds after not
seeing them for nearly a year and a half.
These dear friends were the first to introduce us to Uganda, little did
we dream we would be welcoming them one day!
Of course beside stories, prayer,
and food, what do children’s workers do when they get together? One just has to recall some fond memories and
hilarious events, and somehow we were requested to show our stash of knitted
teddy bears and then, Ernie. O the
laughter as we recalled past memories and then introduced Ernie to friends Beth
and Brenda. Ernie also received his
first hug in Africa, no Joke!

Time went all too quickly and before
we could savor the company of these three, we were saying good-bye to two
friends leaving for a meeting in East Uganda and accompanying another friend to
catch a plane for Manila. The house is
quiet once again but if you pause here in Kampala, you can still hear the
laughter in the walls.
Farewell friends and until we meet
again, God keep you in the hollow of His hand.
