Dear friends and family,
After getting Malaria and then being healed from malaria, life has gone back to "normal." I'm still not completely sure what my normal is but life has gone back to the way it was before. This last Friday I went to the hopeland base here in Jinja for the 50th celebration of YWAM. It was an exciting day full of music and updates on all the east African YWAM bases. I was able to see some of the people that went through my DTS with me. And reconnect with old friends. It was fun and also very exhausting at the same time.
On Saturday Calvary Chapel had a R.A.C.E day for the children of Jinja and surrounding villages. Race stands for Running According to Christ's Example. It was a way to tell the kids about Jesus. We had the gospel presented after each race. It was done in Luganda (the local language) and about 50 of the 300 children excepted Christ into their hearts!!! It was very exciting! We had around 40 something staff and 4 different races, Sugar sack, relay, 40 meter dash and three legged. All the children were signed up for one race each. After all the races were completed there was an award ceremony followed by juice and popcorn. All in all it was a great success!
After the Race some friends and I went to the Jinja Nile Resort and went swimming.
It a was much needed time to relax and cool off, after an extremely HOT day!!!
Sunday was a pretty emotional day because some of our friends are leaving for furlough and another was leaving for good. Also it was the day Judy was scheduled to leave for home with Malia. So Judy had planned to take Kelli and I to a guest house in town for our birthday's. Mine was last Thursday and Kelli's is tomorrow. It was so nice to be able to get away with both of them and relax, talk, swim, eat some amazing pizza and just be girls.
I, of course, got burned pretty badly, a sad result of being in the sun all day and forgetting to put on sunscreen. What was I thinking!!! Here I am 24 and I know that I have pale skin and burn supper easy and yet I always forget sunscreen! I blame it on growing up in a place that is only sunny about two months out of the year!!! :) Oh well you live and you learn! Or at least we hope we learn! :)
Life seems to be busy lately. I have been trying to research different organizations in east Africa to find out if I can get involved with one that is a NGO(non government organization) or a NPO (non profit organization) But unfortunately I have not had very much success.
Please pray for the Lord to open the doors to where he wants me and where he can use me. I want more than anything to be in his will. So that is why I am earnestly seeking him for my life, in every part.
Another letter about finances is coming within the next couple of days.
Love you all and thank you so much for all your love, prayers and support. God Bless!
In Christ,
Rochelle
