Wednesday-
March 18th was Rachel's bday and March 23rd is Maggie's so we decided to buy a cake big enough for all of the girls and staff to enjoy together with us! The girls sang "Happy Birthday" and were so excited as I passed around the pieces of cake. Something so simple brought them so much joy. After we ate, Maggie and the girls began playing games in the front yard. The first one was a Karamojong version of "Simon Says". The girls lined up in 2 rows facing each other and got down on their knees while 1 girl remained standing and singing. When the song changed - the girls position on the ground had to change and of course if you didn't- you were out! They were so competitive! Maggie stayed in the game til the end with 3 other girls and we had to call it a draw. Next, they all got into a circle and held hands - singing and dancing in Karamojong. They eventually brought me into the circle to join them. When evening came we said goodbye and headed back to our inn. Seeing my girl playing with all of the girls here is a memory that i will always keep close to my heart. I have dreamt of that moment for some time now and God finally made a way for it to become a reality.
Let everything that has breath praise the Lord! ~ Psalm 150:6
Thursday -
Rachel, Emma, Maggie and I spent the afternoon at the Uganda Museum today. We had an excellent tour guide who took us from one time period to the next describing Uganda's rich cultural heritage. I will not get into any history lessons here 😉 but I wanted to make sure that Maggie had the opportunity to learn as much as she could about, not only 91four, but about Uganda as well. This trip can definitely be counted as an educational field trip!
