Childrens Ministry

This week is our week of Children's Ministry in Arapai. We started yesterday, Monday, with about 60 kids and that will probably expand today and throughout the week. Many of the kids recognized us and they were eager to listen and do the activities and the singing was as good as we remembered. This should be a fun week.
A funny story from a couple days ago is when I, Barb, was talking with a man in our marriage Bible Study who is disabled by polio. He uses an adult tricycle to get around and asked me what people with disabilities use in America. I began to describe a wheelchair to him and after a couple minutes he said, "We call those things wheelchairs in Uganda." Needless to say we all got quite a laugh out of that.
We continue to do well and are enjoying our time here. Thanks for your prayers and comments.

Ah, language -- sometimes it seems like assuming that you are sharing the same one is as big an obstacle as cross-language translation! :-)

We're eager to have you back and see pictures of all the great stuff you're doing. Our prayers are with you!
