Update from Uganda...

Hi Friends and Family:

It hasn't been 24-hours since I have been back from visiting Leah in Uganda, that I already don't miss her immeasurably and wish I was still with her. Two weeks just didn't seem like enough time, but God was so good in providing a way for us all to be together. First of all, we would like to extend a huge "THANK YOU!" to all those that supported our trip to see Leah and Bekah. We couldn't have done it without your support, love and words of encouragement. Our time with the girls was full of all sorts of emotions (some crying but mostly laughing), but we found incredible amounts of encouragement in seeing one another. Sharing details from the monotony of everyday life to the difficulty in choosing to serve Christ in dark places.

Being in Africa has revived Leah, and I couldn't take in just how much God has continued to mold and shape her. The kids that she is around every day adore her, and you can see in their eyes how much love they receive through Leah and Bekah. Both girls are working incredibly hard to be an active, adoring and intentional facet in each of the kids' lives and it truly shows. Please continue to pray Leah, Bekah and Dylan as they head off for a much needed "holiday" (aka a safari in Northern Uganda). Also pray for the school term as it started this week. And as always, please keep the girls' health in your prayers. Leah, asked that I update the blog with some pictures of what her life in Uganda looks like. A mixture of many things like cooking, doing laundry and watching football games at the local pitch. She also asked that I relay just how thankful she is for all the support you have given her the past couple of months, words simply do not relay how much it has meant to her.

Until we meet again,

Caylin
