Dinner with Michael & Joseline
Lisa and I had dinner at Michael and Joseline Mugasha's home, where we fought over who got to hold the baby Jonathan (three months old)...
Rain Delay - for Church!
Today we woke up to more rain. That morning Lisa taught Lynate and the other staff members how to make an omelet with eggs that were given to us by Enoch, the student who VBC as a church sponsors. Learning this new way to prepare eggs made Lynate wish that she would be the one to cook for the...
Overwhelming Appreciation
It rained all night and all morning, altering our plans a bit. We had hoped to deliver several packages to children in the village, but were stuck at the guest house while we waited for the rain to stop. A boy we had hoped to find while in Kishanje, Sam, showed up ...
Let the sun shine in, and meet it with a grin.
Finally, after lunch, the rain stopped and the sun was shining brightly! It was time to deliver our packages!
Thanks Lynate!
We ended the day enjoying fellowship with some JAM staff members who stayed in the guest house with us. Lynate, one of JAM's first sponsored children, and a current ABIDE student, excitedly volunteered to be our cook in Kishanje when she heard Max's mom was coming for a visit. She...

Love these kids!
After chapel we met a few sponsored children at the high school in order to deliver their packages. Shallon, sponsored by Pedro & Raquel Valdez, showed her appreciation for the gift by sending us with a beautiful hand-made basket to give her sponsors. Enoch is sponsored by VBC...
Kacerere home visits
We took a long hike to a nearby village, Kacerere, to visit two children. (Any time we have told someone that we walked there, they are shocked that we would go on such a long journey!) First we stopped to see Sylvia, sponsored by Jennifer Wood. I am not sure if her mother was nervous or...
Welcome to Uganda! Meeting Annah & Jackson
We went to the market in Kabale town to do some grocery shopping. We bought food for us to enjoy in the village of Kishanje, along with the staff members who would be hosting us. Just to give you an idea of what prices are like, we bought three juicy and super sweet pineapples for the...
