SUCCESS AT LAST...


We have been derelict in updating our blog since we got home from our mission in Africa. After many many months of effort we finally got clearance from the U.S. Embassy in Uganda to bring Mark home with us to the U.S. We returned to Uganda in August and came back with him on September 1st. The adjustment to his new life will take him some time. But, he is such a sweet little boy; we all love him dearly.

This is Mark with his new cousin Madison; Julie's little girl. We can now feel that our mission in Uganda is officially over but we are starting an exciting new adventure in our family.

"Everything must have a beginning"

"Everything must have a beginning"
Children at an orphanage in Entebbe, Uganda. There are so many children here it is incredible; there are orphans everywhere. The people take them in and it is not unusual to see families struggling with 8-10 children. We talked to a woman yesterday who has taken in twelve children. She said, "sometimes I feel sad that I cannot do more, but everything must have a beginning". We have decided to use that as our personal reminder to guide our actions here as we try to help.
