reflections from Uganda





















We are back in the U.S. Actually, a little sad to be back. We love our families and friends but God is tugging at our hearts to plan the next trip to visit our friends in the land far away.



























We will definitely stay longer next trip.

We laughed, we cried, we prayed, we served, we gave it 100% to develop relationships and to try to portray even a small glimpse of what gives us joy. In the end, we grew together as a team and we grew spiritually. We each came back with a bigger reality of what matters. In Uganda, we learned about love, joy, sacrifice, trials, suffering, heartache, and hope. And yet, another trip reveals that the team members going to serve get much, much more out of it than those we are going to help. We come back stronger, more joyful and a clearer picture of God's path for our lives. Perhaps we are going to get helped. That makes much more sense.
To Africa,
with LOVE.
