Gotcha Day +4

Eric: "What does a 3.5 year old really need?"

Kyle:  "A stick, and a good dad."

Clint: "God help me with the second part :-)"

 

Woops...  Must have done something wrong cause he used it to lock me out of the house...

 

Nothing a cup full of gold fish can't fix!

 

No hands!

So all of those pics were actually from this morning.  After some fun, I (Clint) headed out for a day trip, plus preaching, at Rashid's church in a remote village.  I've seen some poverty before, but Uganda is different.  There are so, so many people here living off of so, so little.  The problems run deep into culture, politics, you name it...  And the solutions are even more complicated.

But the believers in this church (I'll be sure to take pictures when we go again Sunday) love Jesus, and their hope is in Him.  So, rich or poor, black or white, knowing and trusting in the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus brings hope.  It brings hope to those of us that struggle with worshiping our comforts, security, control, and safety from having "enough," and it brings hope to those wondering where the next meal will come from for the 10 children they have in their home.

While I was out with Rashid today, Jo and Nico stayed behind.

Here are some fun pics Jo was able to take.

 Momma taught Nico to "play" dominoes

 

Apparently she taught him to read and write as well.  Whew... got that out of the way.  

Tomorrow... Algebra!

There are approximately 30 million people in Uganda

Roughly 2 million of them are orphans 

(most due to parents dying of AIDS)

We are thankful to God that there is one less tonight :-)

 who's next?
