Sunday, July 18 - Beauty

Well, I am back - I apologize for my silence. The past few days have been rather rough, but thankfully I am on the mend. My first encounter with a parasite has proven to be one that I hope to never experience again, but sadly may come in contact with in the future.

One of the current teams at New Hope is leaving today for another ministry in Uganda and it is going to be sad to see them go. They were such a help in the Primary school and their enthusiasm and joy for what they are doing is something that can only be brought on by the Father. What a blessing they have been.

Family Group last night was something absolutely beautiful - it is hard to explain though. The power was out, so the moon and stars were the only lights in the sky. The whole family sat outside the main banda, and with guitar and djembes in hand, we all sang and sang and sang. It felt like something out of a movie - so peaceful, amongst all the potential chaos around us - singing praises to their Father and doing so without reservation. Beautiful.
