Wow - internet access again this morning. Our apologies to those of you looking for emails from us. We're having an especially hard time getting into Charter accounts.
Had a great meal under the stars at our hotel last night. The vegetable fried rice and spring rolls were abundant! I love having Chinese food in Uganda!
Most everyone is sleeping well. Personally I choose to lay awake from 2:00 to 5:00 every night, but that's not much different from home!
We love having Violet along with us. Violet really maintains some order with the kids for us. We love her so much!
Pastor Chuck was walking across the field yesterday and was stopped by his sponsored child, who immediately wanted to know how Shelby is! He then proceeded to ask about each of his children, by name. At one point, he even said, "Now Kate, she is 9 now, right?" It was a really cool moment for me to get to witness. Just reinforces the personal connections that are happening from year to year.
We handed out digital cameras to some of the kids yesterday and hope to get them back today full of pictures. Charles says there is a 17% chance of this happening! Guess we'll see. We're handing out the 100 disposable cameras to the sponsored kids tomorrow and hopefully they will be returned on Sunday.
Again, everyone is doing well. Casey took a little tumble in the tub night before last and has a couple of bruises she is not afraid to show us!
We're off to Nakabango. Thanks again for all your prayers!!
