In July, as we looked toward August, we anticipated a month full of activity!!! And so it was! Somedays I found myself just trying to "hang on" for the next thing, while other times I flowed freely from happening to happening. All in all it was a wonderful month of friends, celebration, harvest, planning, sharing and just being together!!! We culminated the month with a "mini-envisioning" meeting in which we revisited our reason for being here and looked indepth at why and how we can effectively continue to minister to the children of New Hope Uganda. Here are a few pictures for you to enjoy. My computer is not allowing me to see the pics, though so I hope I put the proper captions on the right pictures!!!!
Toby and Joel harvesting maize by beating it off the cob, while Medie, Acacia, Kevin and Geoff bag it for taking to the mill.
Thanksgiving with the New Hope family! We are so blessed!!
Kambo and Geoff talking about planting.
The McFarland's taking a family walk
Anya and Acacia
Anya and Acacia visit together while Anya gets her hair done . . . an almost 20 hr process over 2 days!!
Toby holding the most unusual fruit we've found to date!! Around here they call it the "upnut" because it has nuts inside and grows UP on the tree :)
The Brown's moved to Kampala :(
Movie night with David Family
holiday means a lot more visits from friends!!!
I spent a great deal of time planning school for this next term and everytime I snuck away to plan, the kids followed me . . . they LOVE to read!
The kids will read anytime, anywhere!!!
Kakulu enjoyed that his brothers and sisters from David Family were around more during the holiday, they took him on many walks . . . he and Bubbly greet each other when they walk by the house.
Ronald came over almost every afternoon of the holiday to play the guitar.
Stella and Acacia enjoyed playing together quite a bit this August holiday
Kalera's and Scovia's wedding was a beautiful event!!
