Team Update Thursday

Hi everyone,

I heard from Carol Kimmons that she and John arrived safely in Chad. It is really hot there, over 100 degrees during the day and the 90s at night. She and John have to sleep outside under a mosquito net. She thanks everyone for their prayers.

Well, this is our last night in Uganda. I have mixed emotions about leaving. This life is so laid back and you can see Jesus everywhere. We went to Bugegala Falls, the water fall that I went down last year on the Nile, OHHHHHHHH! I can't believe I did it. We went to KingFisher today and had tilapia and chicken for lunch and then went for an hour boat ride down the Nile. We saw the "source" of the Nile and saw some beautiful birds and a rather large monitor lizard EEK!! on the shore. I am glad we were in a boat.

Please pray for us as we start our journey home tomorrow, we need them. It is going to be a LOOOONG trip home, the worst part of the trip. All of our lives have been changed and none of us will be the same ever again. See you on Saturday!!!!

To Gina, just talked to your mom, she said she can't wait to see you. I told her you would be here before she knew it. She just wants that plane to land!! Have fun on your trip down the Nile tomorrow, take of pictures. Can't wait to hear all your stories! Take care going on your trip tomorrow. Love you, Kim

Hey mom its Jess! Just talked to grandma .. she says she loves and misses you and that kiras fine that she's been eating like a pig but she can tell she misses you. Hope you have fun tomorrow at the falls and the nile, take lots of pictures! I'll make sure to drive your car to work on saturday. Love you can't wait til you get back!

last day of clinic

Well today was it we are finished with clinics I think we saw at least 1300 people. We had over 700 cards and with families we numbered them ABC and we had many families of 6-8 kids. I think we made a dent and i know we helped the ones we could and saved a few babies who would have died otherwise. I have an update on the little baby we sent to the hospital Monday i think the 3 month old boy who was close to death, he was doing much better. We found out he was HIV pos and had severe pneumonia but he is on the mend and doing well. Praise God. Pam has been working all week with a man who had a machete wound he started coming last Wed and came everyday for a recheck yesterday when he went to the tent for snack and fellowship he told the minister he was ready to ask Jesus onto his heart. What an ending to a fulll week. The people here are so polite and respectful. I will miss the children and the friends I have made but am ready to come home. Tommorrow we go to the falls then cruise down the nile. I look forward to seeing all my family I love and miss you all. Sheri

Proud is an understatement

Hi Gina, I've been blogging but for some reason they aren't showing up. Never done this before so I guess I messed it up some how. Shelly told me she would help me this time to make sure it goes through.

I just wanted to let you know how proud I am of you and the work that you and your team are doing. I know you have not only helped the people at GSF with their physical needs but, also with their spiritual and emotional needs. I'm sure you have touched the hearts of everyone you've come in contact with. I have enjoyed seeing the posted pictures and reading the comments of others so I can't wait to hear the first hand stories you will share. I think it would be hard to not want to bring some of your new found friends home with you. They all look sooooo cute. Thank you for sharing all the Blessings you have and may God watch over you and your team as you finish up your work and return home.

Peace, Prayers and Blessing to you all.

Love ya,

Linda (GG)

Amy

Hey All,

I was talking to Willis this morning and heard about Amy's illness. Anybody reading this post- will you please have Amy call me or one you update me? I noticed she didn't read her emails yet which is very unlike her. Please let me know what is going on.

Hi anyone, from Lynette

Hello, I'm glad you guys are getting to have some fun and see some stuff this week. I can't wait to hear about things in person when you get back. It's hard to get information or responses this way. Gina/Jennifer, we are having more baby goats this week! We lost one though )-: John, I would have loved to hear your sermon, I miss them. Love to all, Lynette
