I cannot believe my time in Uganda is already over. It all went by so quickly but it was full of experience that I will never forget. Uganda has taught me so much but I think the most important lesson I learned is how to love and not love like the world but love someone with the love of Christ. The people in Uganda are all so kind and giving. I don’t think I met one person who was not happy that we were there and who were not willing to drop everything just so we had a place to sit. That is the one thing you can always count on in Uganda. Chairs!! These people had a rediculous amount...

     So my last blog was a short summary of what we have done while here in Africa. Yesterday we arrived in Kenya and headed up to Nanyuki. After blogging we are headed out to the bush to minister to a Maasai village. While there we will do some evangelism and play with orphans. I’m expecting God to do some amazing things with our team and through me.       This past week my team went out into the village by Torroro, Uganda. I really liked it there because of the simplicity of life. As I talked with Pastor Francis he told me that they...

Anna’s Story   On Monday, we went evangelizng with our host pastor’s wife. The first home we went to was that of Anna. We sat with her for over an hour, hearing her story and telling her about Christ. Praise God that we had hope to offer her. You see, Anna is maybe 25, but doesn’t know her age. She was brought here from a primitive tribe that doesn’t record age by her husband many years ago. She’s as thin as a twig and lives in a room smaller than a small bedroom. She has 3 children, a 10 yr. old, 3 yr old, and 1 yr old. The baby is the skinniest...

  —–This is WILLIAM BOSTWICK blogging with Lindsay’s username—– This is my first blog so far! I have had such an incredible learning experience with the Lord ever since we arrived in this country. The first week in Uganda we were in a rural village called Kwappa. There was no electricity, no roads, no running water, no anything really. It was just a farming community spread out over the rolling green hills of Uganda, where people eat what they grow in their front yards, and live in mud/straw huts. And this is where our ministry began. Each morning we would...

10:30 pm. It’s dark outside and I have to go to the bathroom like none other. At home, that’s an easy fix. Roll out of bed, walk ten steps, do some business, and flop back into bed. But in the village of Morekebu, Uganda, what stands between me and sweet, sweet relief is a corn field and The Unknown. This is Africa. Crickets here are the size of a small car (which means the size of a computer mouse, no joke), spiders look like octopuses (giant butts and beady eyes), and all kinds of wild, roaming animals that could sneak attack at any given moment...
