Nearing the End...

Yikes!

This last week went by so fast. Updating for the last time from Uganda : (

On Monday, we headed south towards Entebbe Airport up to a place called Prayer Mountain. Ugandans walk for miles to reach this place to go for meditation, rest, and solitude with God. Our team went up there to have a time of reflection and worship with God, as well as...feed monkeys a whole bunch of bananas! Wild monkeys live up in the jungle-esque area on top of the mountain, so we took advantage of that. The mountain overlooked all of Kampala and even Lake Victoria, which was amazing to see. Later we went into the city to do some more shopping and see the Watoto church. 2,000 children are sponsored and housed into small villages by Watoto. It is also famous for its Watoto childrens' choir, which tours Australia and the USA every year with groups. Afterward, we went back to the Uganda Jesus Village, which we had visited previously on Friday. We put on a small medical clinic for the children, who were in need because of all that had happened to them in the last month.

On Tuesday and Wednesday, we went to two different slum areas to hold medical clinics. In the first area, we treated 252 people, in the second we treated 210. Overall, lots of work but it has been so rewarding.

Today we went to the school we sponsor to have another time of chapel and worship with them. We also put on a sex education class for the older girls and boys, as well as a chance for them to declare purity to the Lord until marriage. We also put on the last medical clinic of the trip for a group of Sudanese people who live in Kampala. Unfortunately, many of our team has been getting sick, but nothing too serious.

The Biola team heads out tonight at 12:30am out of Entebbe Airport. We will be arriving at London-Heathrow at about 6:30am, London time (about 10:30pm on Thursday, Los Angeles time). We will be in the airport for a couple of hours until our flight out at 1030am to arrive back to LAX at 2pm on Friday. We're preparing for a long Friday ahead of us!

We are all excited to catch up on some sleep, but definitely sad to leave this beautiful place. However, it will be GREAT to see and talk to everyone we've been missing back at home.

God has been so good to us this trip and we can't wait to tell you all personally about it.

Thank you so much for all of your support and prayers. We are more than thankful and more than blessed.

Mukama aca cumay! (..God Bless!)
