Today:
-was covered in mud while building an adobe stove for a local family's, they thanked me and the other 3 volunteers who helped by feeding us AMAZING papaya.
-used a machete all day for different things (cutting sugar cane, bamboo, building house etc.) I felt really powerful it was great.
-helped build a bamboo house for a mushroom garden we are helping locals build so they can use it in town to make money. There's a good market for mushrooms.
-talked to an old lugazi woman with a tiny girl. her name's joy kauna. I didn't have much to give her because i knew she had no job and her baby has malaria, so i felt really bad...then i thought, wait a second..i have the gospel! so..she's coming to church w/me on sunday and i gave her some coins hidden in a bag of gummy bears so she can get a bus to make it to church. it's an hour away...it's against the rules to give money...but...yeah.
I'm loving it here, serving is the most wonderful thing in the world!

You're SO lucky! I'm jealous and I wish I could be in your shoes right now!
ReplyDeleteMachetes can make anyone feel powerful. They're awesome. :)
ReplyDeleteI'd buy Ugandan mushrooms!
I'm sure the Lord would forgive you of giving money so his people can hear his gospel. :) I hope it all works out.
I'm happy that you're so happy. Service is definately one of the greatest sources of happiness. The prophets weren't lying. ;)

We were talking about you last night and Brynn decided she was going to donate one of her two dollars to your cause. Kate is giving $3. We'll get something sent soon.
