"Lord Whimsley" aka "Lord Bob"

The first thing we do in school every morning is pray, then we work on our memory verse for the week. As we were beginning our work Geoff returned from the vocational school to trade vehicles for a short trip to Luweero. Toby wanted to read the memory verse to Geoff, but insisted on doing it in a strong British accent. For some reason, Geoff immediately dubbed him "Lord Whimsley" to which Toby retorted, "No, I'm Lord Bob." I don't know where all that came from, but Lord Whimsley fits as we watch Toby grow up enjoying the whims of youth in a place where he is privileged to run free. Here he is reading Isaiah 48:17 in his best British.

As I walked down to visit a friend yesterday, I was reminded of the progress we are making in the ministry in regards to water access. These containers are currently being completed to catch rain water from the gutters of the primary school. This significantly assists us as we minister to the children of New Hope Uganda. Thank you to those of you who are a part of this through your financial contributions!!!

This recent Sunday we were thankful to be a part of a baby dedication for a special family in our lives. Three years ago the newlyweds became our neighbors and we have been blessed to watch their family grow to four. Unfortunately, for us, they are moving to Kampala this Friday to work as full-time pastors. It was a privilege to send them off with prayer and blessing. We love you Sam and Sarah!!!

This is also a picture from Sunday. Acacia seems to have a sweet way with babies. Nico climbed up on her lap and stayed there for most of the service. He is a wonderful little boy who has been adopted by a staff family here at New Hope. Alair, his mom, told me yesterday that he was so excited to see our kids when we returned, but he kept mentioning Acacia's name above the boys.

That's all for now!!!!
