Mukama Asiimwe!

That means Praise God. Reverend Hope is teaching us a few more words in Rukiga-apparently we need a refresher course! Yesterday we handed out T-shirts from St James to the villagers of Biumba. Wow! What a treat. In gratitude, they danced and sang for us and asked us to dance with them. We made fools of ourselves but did it happily. We took several pictures and videos which we can't wait to share with everyone. Today we are going back to Biumba to work. The building that was a school is being turned into a medical clinic. Some of us are painting and some of us are just cleaning. During our lunch break, Allison, Emily and Cindy played with the children. This was challenging b/c many of them are terrified of white people. The braver ones played Ring Around the Rosey with us and seemed to enjoy it.

We miss all of you and appreciated your continuted support and prayers. Oh and thanks for all of your comments; they really brighten our day.

Love to you all,
The Mission Team

Kevin,Emily, Alison, and Greg,

It is great to hear from you. I hope that everything goes exceptionally well for you, and that you find the trip to be rewarding for all involved. The only African language words that I know comes form the Lion King, so I won't embarass myself with the local lingo. All I canoffer is my prayers and thoughts for all of you to have a safe journey. If you come within spitting distance of any more lions, my advice is to resist that urge, as I think it may bring bad luck.

Love you all, Glenn
