I’ve really been enjoying just reading the Bible, seeing what is inside and what I have been missing. Today I read some of Luke and I like Luke 6:30-31, 35. Here at Teen Missions these verses are very important, since people are always using/borrowing other peoples things. I have been working at remembering this as people ask for toothpaste, detergent, etc.

Today was another day of working in the morning. I was on the fence crew. I do not know why, but I disliked this job; the only job I dislike. It was very hard, because of my tiredness and dehydration. I still tried to keep God’s praise on my lips with song. Surprisingly this worked wonderfully. Singing praise is something very easy to do here and I honestly hope I take that home with me. It raises the spirits and keeps everything (from laundry to digging) in a praise song back to God. Cami shared after morning devotions about how she also has this desire to always be singing praise. She shared Psalm 34:1-5 (which of course this chapter has touched me a lot this summer). I love how God uses people to reinforce what He has been loving me and teaching me.
Light bulb moment of the day (yes, they are daily). I realized how much God has blessed me since we arrived in Uganda. Some people have been sick etc. although nothing has happened to me. Not sick, no blisters, and other things. I’ve only been tired! Thank you God.

So…crummy night. It’s pouring and the fire will not stand to be lite so we had PB+J’s. The bread here is awful. Hopefully it will get started later so we can have some amazing tea. It’s super cold too. I’m trying to keep a positive attitude and think of all the people who do not have ANY food or shelter. It’s not working very well.

God allowed us to have enormous warm melt-in-your mouth rolls and hot tea!!! But for real, talking to people is what me feel better not just the rolls and tea. God made us for community and I saw that more clear tonight. I cannot imagine how deep the Father’s love for us.
