The wildest Christmas!!

Christmas trees look different!

It’s time again to update you on what is going on in Kasozi village. It probably has been the most interesting Christmas I’ve ever experienced. Let me tell you a bit of what happened on the 24^th of December. The children wanted to stay up until midnight, so that they could see Jesus being born!!!!! Mainly seeing the start that showed up like 2000 years ago….. Then early in the morning of the 25^th they were up early so that they could see the angel was the moon…. Well, there were a couple of things that I needed to tell them about all that – but we got a good laugh out of it.

Then New Years evening, which was another different event. We had a time of worship ending 2007, and started 2008 worshiping the Lord. That was awesome. They stayed up until midnight of course – and then they took the Christmas tree and set it on fire alongside with the Christmas decorations that they had put up in their rooms…. I guess we all have our different traditions….

Life goes on pretty much as normal at the home. We are still waiting for the pillows to come, but I’ve now got the confirmation that they will arrive in Entebbe on the 21^st of January. The pillow cases have been ordered, so they will be picked up Monday. Things take time in Africa, so the suitcases that they children were supposed to have for Christmas some of them arrived yesterday. The children were ecstatic, they were shouting and screaming. Not so happy when I told them that they had to wait until we get all of them….. but they know that they will get one.

Electricity. All the paper work has been done, the money has been paid, but ….we don’t have it yet…. Hopefully it will be there soon. Africa is Africa, patience is something one needs to learn here, if you don’t have any b4 coming – then I can promise you that you will be streeeeeeeeeetched….lol

I’m having a good time with the children, they are making my day. There is a group of us that is fasting and praying on regular basis, and it’s so encouraging to see the children coming asking for prayer when they fast. There are usually several that are fasting every week. God is a work at the home, and the children are getting more hungry for the Lord.

A friend of mine is visiting these days, and she has seen several angels on the property. She has seen them during time of worship, while sitting talking in the rooms….. it’s awesome and very encouraging. But this is not what things are about; it’s getting closer to the Lord and having a deeper fellowship with Him that matters. Without a relationship with Him, there is nothing. My prayer for this year – is that we all get a new hunger for the Lord and that we want a deeper relationship with Him.
