Getting the orphanage ready for the kids...

Here is the delivery truck filled with bunkbeds for 24, blankets, sheets, cups, plates, and utensils.  The church had enough funds to build the orphanage, but not the funds to buy everything they would need inside to make it ready for kids.  International voice of the orphan was able to help with the funds and now the orphanage is ready... Ready for kids who are waiting that are orphans as a result of a mudslide... Can you imagine what those kids have gone through in their short little lives??

Caleb, Jillian, and Emma putting together the bunk beds.  You should have seen the villagers come from all around as they they saw and heard us there pounding a away as the beds were assembled.

They seem so excited to see it ready for kids...

This village was particularly beautiful... Rolling hills and so lush...  We have been commenting on how you rarely see elderly people here.  Our driver said that they usually stay home.  This is such a typical site... The women just sat in the doorway of her house with coffee beans drying closes by.  The people of Uganda are stunningly beautiful.

To me how they carry their baby is so precious.  All that is sticking out is their little head.  We also volunteered at the baby home again.  And then at the end of he day... Some of our St. Peter team had to leave and go home.  Big bummer!!! It is just not the same without them here.

Touching lives forever in Uganda... One smile at a time... One bed at a time... One hug at a time... One orphan in a forever family at a a time... One encouraging word at a time... One bible given at a time.... 

What a gift this trip has been to us...
