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 of everything they receive. We talked with them to get to know them a little more and pray with them. It is so humbling to receive such love and thanks. It really makes you appreciate how blessed we are in America. We returned safely back to the Stevensons because of the tricky driving of Moses and Sunday. It was a tiring, humbling, blessed day. Now for a shower and a wonderful dinner provided Colleen and Tim's staff, Flaudia and Jackie. THANKS FOR ALL YOUR PRAYERS! We are surely feeling the love and support. GOODNIGHT AND GOD BLESS YOU! LOVE YOU ALL, Lynn

    1. The Jjas-Jjas are grandmothers who are raising grandchildren. We visited two grandfathers, today, and four grandmothers! Sally
