wah toe toe

ahh another day is over and we're leaving way too soon! today we went to see the land that sherry and ken bought so that they can expand on what they already have established here. the land, named graceland, was purchased a year ago and is beautiful. it is nine acres of land up a little bit higher and farther from where we are currently at but the intention is to build a bigger children's home, guest house, school, church, and medical clinic or as we called it, sherryville. its so awesome to see this ministry thriving and trying to reach as many people as possible. today, when we went to the graceland with our 18 kids, we got to pass out sandals, clothes, sweeties, biscuits, and prizes to the surrounding neighborhood kids. our kids helped out and prayed for the kids and people they were serving. so incredible I have no words. we also climbed mango trees and ate some fresh fruits off the trees we were in. so fun. after that we went back to the African market to shop and hang out for about an hour before church started. we went to watoto church which apparently is a huge well known church started in Uganda that most people have heard of except for me. story of my life. the worship was amazing with a full band and choir but the message was very directed at the congregation and about their push for miracle giving so we all felt out of place. it was crazy to step into a huge, wealthy church in the middle of a country living in such poverty. the pastor that started the church preached and it was different than the teaching we're all used to. it's hard stepping into a church for the first time but I felt out of place and i'm missing my church back home! that was it for today. two days left =[
