So it's my last full day in the village today. If you all were here with me now, there are a million things I'd try to tell you about - the things I've seen, the people I've met, the adventures I've had, and the foods I've eaten. But I'm a busy woman, you know, and I'd much rather tell you in person than to write them all down :)

So I'll just say this - I love this area of Uganda and I love these people. They have welcomed me and cared for me and worked so hard to help me accomplish what I came to accomplish. They've taught me how to worship, how to pray expectantly, how to have overflowing joy no matter the circumstance, and how to truly lean on the Lord as my Provider and Sustainer.

If the Lord wills, I desperately hope to come back to this village again and to spend a longer period of time here. As Angela and I were going way out into the bush to visit her village, someone was passing us and asked, "Is that woman your friend?" She laughed and said, "No, no. She is my sister!" And it's true, I've got a whole new African family over here just as big as my white family back home. So I'm looking forward to another reunion with my new family with the same excitement that I look forward to Hamilton family reunions!

So please be praying for me as I spend my last day and last hours here. Pray that the Lord would have mercy on my heart as I leave this place. Also pray that I would finish up the few last minute things I have to get done and that He would give me safe travels as I drive and fly.

See you guys soon!
