Another beautiful day in Uganda. I spent most of the meeting one on one with the teachers of our school New Creation Centre. Also had an opportunity to meet again with Liz Kasaka who was born here in Uganda, but traveled to the US many years ago and was teaching at Coast Christian School in Redondo Beach. Liz is a wonderful lady who felt God’s calling to come back to Uganda and minister to the needy here. Uganda is fortunate to have her. Her brother, Alan Kasaka, worship pastor of Hope Chapel Redondo Beach will be coming with a team of 19 – arriving on July 7 and their team may join forces with our 20 team members and conduct a massive medical clinic in the Namuwongo Slum area.











Little Bena had a great night last night – didn’t even wet the bed, which can be common for new children. She is so happy and the children love showing her the new routines of everything – i.e. inside shoes vs. outdoors shoes, washing up before meals, how to hold her fork and knife to eat British style. Bena wasn’t in the home 60 seconds and she was already put into the tub and lathered up with soap by the older girls, getting her squeaky clean. Then came the Vaseline for her skin and new clothes to put on. The children were so adorable as each wrote her a special letter and put it on her bed with a new doll and some toys. They were excited to read their letters to her – telling her how much they are happy she is with them and how they love her! Bena sleep with those letters under her pillow last night. Photo of Bena and her first night sleeping in a REAL bed. The 10 girls hovering around Bena – holding her new baby doll.

The first part of the team arrives Sunday morning (Saturday night – US time) and it will be great to have them here. The 2nd part of the team arrives Tuesday morning and then we will hit the ground running with LOTS of ministry.

It’s been really good for me to come early and get EVERYTHING ready for the team. I think it has helped greatly. May have to do this more often – although I love traveling to Uganda with the team.

Bye for now – will try to stay more current on my blogs now that I have an Internet hook up for my computer. YEAHHHHHHH.
