Today Hannah was able to come home. Her oxygen levels stayed at 95% all night which is really good. So on the morning of my anniversary I was able to come home and enjoy the day with my husband and family. Yipee!
Today was mine and Daniel's turn to share our life story with our fellow students. When we were done they all gathered around us and the kids and prayed over us. I was humbled and filled and at peace.
We also found out today that there will be two other missionary families on the ground in Kampala when we arrive! I was feeling jealous of the other students here who all have other missionaries to work under in their respective countries. I began praying a few days ago that God would send other people to work with us in Uganda. So today it became official that there is a family who has been there for four years from Kenya. We will intern with them and also another family from South Africa who did a Calvary Chapel church plant. Both families have kids my kids ages. To have these two families will be such a blessing to us.
Another blessing and praise has been my kids. In the last few months they have been sleeping in various places, had their house sold from under them, their toys sold, and have been asked to adapt quickly to a communal living environment. On top of that they are all sharing a room, have all had chicken pox and have had one parent at a time while Hannah was in the hospital. And yet they are flourishing. The other students here have all told me how wonderful the kids have been. They have been respectful, quiet, polite and friendly. It is such a relief to me that not only are my kids behaving but others really enjoy them. They have been through a lot.
I have been a little lonely here and cry every so often when I think of my friends and family. And yet all of us students have bonded a little and seem able to live together quite comfortably. It is a weird thing to live with strangers and yet adapt so quickly. They have been a source of comfort and help for us in these last few days. Truly we are blessed here.
Thank you all again for your prayers. Please don't stop...we have a long way to go. I pray that you all would be blessed in your daily lives and have testimonies of grace to share too....
