Back in Uganda

Hello everyone.  Wanted to share a few pics with you from our first week back in Nansana Uganda.


This is Jonah sitting with all his Pre-school classmates at Wakiso Christian International Academy or WCIA for short. WCIA is our big school project we started at the beginning of 2011.  The classes are full and we are going over expansion ideas right now.  The children at the school come from all different backgrounds: some have been orphaned or abandoned, others come from the slums, and other come from what we might call a "normal family".  All these kids are being giving an awesome oppurtunity in developing spiritually, academically, emotionally and physically. 


The picture of Saylah just makes me laugh.  She is being held by the nurse at the school, Gladys.  If you have ever been to Uganda you will notice the baby girls wearing beads, rumor has it that the purpose of these beads it to help them develop a waist.  I don't know if it works but I guess we will find out.

Glad you guys made it safely! I just asked Brady if we should take bets on whether you guys will come home adopting/expecting another kid, just seems to be the pattern. Hope so! haha Love you guys! :)

I was talking to Don about your blog post and he called you a "wordy sonofabitch" that guy never fails to make me laugh.

We're praying for you. Hope everything is going great!
