Nawantumbi days

 Saturday March 5 - Sunday March 6.

We stayed at a guest house in Nawantumbi . Saturday we were in Moses’ home town and Roy did his pastor leadership, Carna and Sally did grief groups, Norma Jean, Kenzie and I played with the kids. We started by handing out coloring pages and crayons. The kids all sat on a big tarp and colored. While they were doing that, the three of us were blowing up balloons. Some of the balloons popped as soon as they hit the ground because it was so pointy. When the kids got done coloring they came over and were playing with the balloons. Some kids wanted to blow up some of the balloons so they did. After the balloons, we got out the beach balls. These all had to be blown up. I blew up all six of them. I had a lot of hot air!! These were a huge hit!!!! We went to eat lunch. It was a nice break. 

After lunch we returned to play with the kids. We got out the parachute and the kids were very excited. That was the first time I have ever seen the parachute toy. Kenzie had a group of kids in a circle throwing a beach ball back and forth to them. 

Sunday March 6, 2022 - we ate breakfast at 8:00 and then went to Godfrey’s house and project. Godfrey was a sponsor child and now is a grown man with a wife, 6 children and in charge of Lords Grace school that has 500 children. After that we went to church that started at 9:00. It was approximately a 3 hour service. During the service there was a lot of singing and dancing. Our Uganda team sang God So Loved the World and Oh Victory. Pastor Roy led the service today. After the service, we left for a 4 hour ride to Kampala. When we returned to the Stevenson’s, our stuff got brought into the house. We sat down and checked our devices before we ate dinner. We had delicious veggie lasagna, meat lasagna, bread , salad and fruit. We relaxed in the living room, did our devotional for the day, and some did their blog for the day. It was a warm day in Uganda. 95 degrees and humid. God bless Moses (our AMAZING driver). He is an all amazing man. He is a father and grandfather. His smile can make anyone smile! I am very impressed with him. 

God bless you all.

-Jean

WHAT AN AWESOME God we serve! Today we had the privilege of going to BUKASA PRIMARY SCHOOL and doing some jja jja visits. We arrived in the morning and set up our clinic. I had the honor of being part of the Visual Aquity team with AmyLynn, Dina,Sunday and Alexander(a local young man). Today we served the students and faculty of Bukasa. It was so much fun working with them! They are so proud of their new glasses or sunglasses. They sang some songs for us and the kids enjoyed watching what we were doing and having their pictures taken. They love to see themselves in the pictures. In the afternoon I went with AmyLynn and a lovely young social worker named Nora. We walk from the school into the main part of the village to meet with the jja jja's. We stopped at the grocery store to pick up food gift bags. We take rice, beans, bread, corn meal,sugar for their families and we also took some toiletries and stuffed animals and an article of clothing for a child. They are so appreciative ...

Worship Ugandan Style

Sunday, July 20 The internet was down for the weekend, and our posts were lost in cyberspace on Monday, so hopefully these messages will reach you this time... After a breakfast of crepes with Nutella, we split into groups and headed to two different churches.  Rob and I, along with Sally, Norma Jean, and Donna went to Mutunga Chuch of God with Logan Stevenson.  The rest of the group attended Bakasa Church of God.  When we arrived at church, we were greeted at the van with joyful tribal shrieking.  They were so excited to see us!  We were escorted to the first two rows of chairs where worship had already begun.  These people really know how to praise God with song and dance... Lots of dancing!  A group of children sang and danced, another group performed a dance, and a young man wearing a "Snowboarder" shirt danced also.  We're certain that he has never hit the slopes, but after seeing his moves, Sally said she's pretty sure that Michael Jacks...

Monday,Monday....sounds like a song.  Today was catch up day.  Catch up on laundry, some more shopping, and napping!  I participated in all three!  So since this was a rest day I would like to reflect on the past few weeks and some of  the people I met that inspired  me.   Generous was the pastor of the church in  Kasubu.  This woman's faith and her servant heart for trying to make an impoverished village better.  She knew the only way possible was through her trust and love for her Savior Jesus Christ.  Her drive and love of God was inspiring. She has touched.my life forever.   Mosses and Sundae are our two drivers who have been with us all two weeks.  Mosses smile is so contagious that you can't be sad around him.  He is kind and soft spoken. He loves Jesus and his life is one of a true servant of God.  Sundae is the enforcer of the two.  Younger in years he took charge the one day when the crowd got unr...
