Following God's call

 We have now lived here for about 3 months. We have a month and a half left till we head home. It most defiantly has not seemed like it has been that long. Everyday is touching and I get more involved with the people and culture of Uganda. I am starting to understand the language and able to speak some of it too. The relationships I have built are ones that will last a life time.

The times with my son have been some of the best times. Those of you who are fathers know what I am talking about. Like in the morning, when I fart in bed and Jethro says Boda Boda (motorcycle), or him giving me kisses and his big hugs. Just today when we passed a 70 series Land Cruiser, he said "Land Cruiser" for is first time. I am getting a taste of what my father felt like.

Well you are wondering what part of this directly relates to following Gods call. Everything that we are doing is following God. We are having him lead us through every step of our life. He leads our marriage, our parenting, our work, and where we live. 

When we get back to the states we will be there for about 6 months preparing to move back to Uganda as full time missionaries. We will be packing up our house and preparing our keepsakes for long term storage. We will be spending time with family that live all over the US. We also will be looking for sponsors to support us while we are here. Flights here are expensive and we need to raise that before we leave. Also are needing to find sponsors that are wanting to donate monthly or quarterly. This would cover our day to day cost as well as expenses for ministry work. Like taking a few street kids to buy new second hand shirt and sandals from the market or Sarah taking some widows to lunch, to build relationships. 

We will be working with International Voice of the Orphan as well as A Perfect Injustice. IVO is our good friends the Saunders that have lead us to this wonderful place. They sparked our love for the fatherless. API is the organization that we are currently working with. They have a feeding program, 2 boys homes on 20+ acres and a women program. We don't have a length of time that we will be here, just until God calls us on our next journey.
