I just realized that there is a lot to say and so I better update everyone now.

The first thing is that God has been stretching me in matters of faith. As my last blog said I was planning on going to Kenya to renew my visa. Well it seems that the Lord closed the doors for Kenya. I also had tried to get a special pass, which would allow me to be in the country for a total of five months. Unfortunately the immigration of Uganda denied my application for a special pass and I decided to go to Rwanda to try and get my visa there. Well I was very blessed because Judy and Malia decided to come with me and we stayed in Kabale, which is in southern Uganda, and on Sunday crossed over the boarder into Rwanda the next day for about an hour then crossed back over into Uganda. Getting my new visa however didn't go as smoothly as I would have liked. The person giving me my visa took advantage of the fact that I was a white person and told me that I needed to get a work permit and stop crossing the boarder. So he ended up making me pay $50 and gave me only one month. It's supposed to be $50 for three months! I was on the verge of tears as I walked out of the immigration office. I don't understand how people who have power could be so cruel. I have not had a good time with getting my new visa's I guess they frown on people who are here without a work permit.

I have been working at Our Own Home for two weeks now. I enjoy the work I do there. I get to spend a lot of time with the kids which I like but at the same time I wish there was more that I could do. I am looking forward to house sitting for Jesse and Bev when they go on furlough! :) It was such a huge blessing when Bev told me that I could house sit for them while there gone. This way I still have more time to look for a place to stay and to raise money for support.

Thank you to everyone who is a financial and prayer supporter!!! You are very much appreciated!!!

That's all for now, more to come later!

Blessings,
