Day 11

Can't say it enough, but Uganda rocks.

This morning we headed to the prison to minister to them and give them some blankets, sugar and a couple solar powered lights. I have to admit, before going, i really had no desire to check off "go to a prison in Iganga" on my list. Criminals are bad, right? Well, let me tell you, if you send a group of missionaries to an Igangan prison, they will get blessed by the prisoners. We did a small church service for the 122 men and 3 women that were there. Seeing their faces light up to Jesus songs, AND even have 2 sing back to us...a sweet song he had written himself. Wowsers. They were so appreciative of us coming and blessing them. Another Uganda time moment, our quick little 30 minute prison trip took about 2 hours. :)

We then headed to the market in Iganga, which is an experience in itself. First we looked for a mixer and amplifier for one of the schools where they hold church service. Glenn and Ronald were in charge...I just got to go hold money. And guess what? Glenn is still the money haggler here too! He even asked the shop owner at one point, "can you come down in price...it's for the kids!" Dang, low blow. The guy didn't budge anymore. :)

We finished up getting supplies for our kids @ Phil's and were blessed my visiting Kyrmba's house for lunch. His family is so warm and hospitable. The food and the company were great. We were even treated to some sugarcane after we finished! Straight from the street, but safe to eat Hinkebein. Liz and Jaimie promised. We then made our way back to the kids house. It was a super sweet time again hanging out with those sweet kids. We got to just be. No agenda, just love on them. It was awesome.

We finished up another great day with dinner here @ the Mum with all the Tree of Life pastors. They are such a God loving group of men and women. It is wonderful to call them friends.

Time for bed, so that we can get all packed up to leave for Kampala in the morning.

Babe, love you, and I am one more day closer to seeing you and my boys. I am proud of all that you have had to juggle while I gone.

Walking into the prison. Didn't scare me one but when they locked us in. Ha!
