I have been assigned the task of conveying the blessing we had this afternoon...one word Nateete. Again, we were blessed in a way that cannot be named. The children, that for me represent one of the most lasting and meaningful memories of my trip to Uganda last summer, the orphans, the sick, the innocents, many HIV positive, many who have been sexually abused, the children of the slums...THEY BLESSED US!!!!
These children danced, they sang, they shared themselves with us, it was a gift beyond measure. I wept, but I was full of joy. They are "The Living Hope Orphans".
I want our team to know that I am so excited that soon you too will be experiencing these kinds of "treasures of the heart". The treasure of Africa is too big not to want to share. To Pastor Chris, our supporters, our prayer partners, Pastor Bruce, Verna, EVERYONE! Thanks from the three of us, from the bottom of our hearts...now we must get back to work.
We have secured many partners, seen some great facilities, never could we have foreseen the course this would take..it is the best and most perfect course. When we try to do it one way, we are sent another way...and it is a better way. HE does all things well! I am learning what it is like to really TRUST, TRUST, TRUST!
Prisca sends her best to Jess and Char, Daniel and Allysa, Bruce and Norma.
We will talk again soon.

Oh Donna!! I remember last summer how affected we were by the children and the culture of Africa. I hope that you, Karine and Angela are all experiencing that again! We're all praying that you have a safe, fruitful and productive trip.
Say "Hi" to Pretty Prisca for me :)
Love and Blessings from home,
Jessica
And yes, we are praying for you!! Update us when you can!
Peace,
