Hello again

Sorry it has been some time. I guess my biological clock is on African time now. We have been busy and enjoying every minute of every day.I will try and catch up on the happenings and life here with the Ferrell's of Uganda.

First and most dear to our hearts is our little man Jethro. We have received a court date of 6th of March. At first we where sad that it was so far away but now understand God's timing. 
Psalms 28:14 Wait for the Lord; Be strong, and let your heart take courage; Yes wait for the Lord.
Yes, this may be hard to do and it is not easy but if it was He would not have to remind us to take courage. 
Jethro has learned what Mom's purse looks like. He will grab it and sit down with Sarah and they go through it smelling, touching or playing with each item. He gives the best hugs and has a smile that would make any ones day better. 

If you remember the post unexpected visitor our little friend Yahaya has had some ups and down. He had his abscess lanced and cleaned out. This was good but it is hard to get him to keep it clean. I have seen him a few times since and I have drained the puss and cleaned the wound. He had developed a bad cough and a fever that has made him very week. We where worried that he might not make it. He is a difficult kid because if you give him meds for his sickness he will lose them by the next day. If you ask him to see you every day he goes into hiding for a few days. 
good news is that he is filling better and was playing with me today and showed some affection toward me. Please pray that he will come to the feeding program tomorrow (Monday). 

Will you take some time this week and lift us up in your prayers. 
  • Guidance with the adoption of Jethro.
  • Guidance for Sarah with teaching financial classes for the boys and the womans program. She does not want to step on any toes.
  • Yahaya needs to drop his drug addiction and anger issues. The other boys know he has a short temper so they use it against him. 
  • I am starting to do more devotions and am needing direction in what God wants me to teach the boys. 
Thank you for following us and praying for us and the Orphans.

  1. You are so loved by all of us. Will be lifting you and Sarah up in prayer that God will use the both of you for what he wants in this journey so far away from all of us. Prayers for this young boy that he will accept your love and come to know Jesus and the love Jesus has for him. Have a really good week. Love and prayers, Aunt Debbie
