Easter is over, a while ago – but I would like to tell you about it. It was a nice weekend, but it rained a lot. The children were asking what was on the menu several times a day for days before Easter. Many of the children were at the home last year, and remember what we had then. And I guess like most children, they told the others about it. We wanted the children to have some good food and started to plan it about 1 week before the weekend. They got milk tea for breakfast with a bun. For lunch they had matoke (banana mash), meat, potatoes, rice and a soda. And there was enough food for them to get the same for supper. In the afternoon they also got some candy, which made their day. Easter service was good, but very different from what I’m used to in Norway. But most things here are very different from Norway……lol
A while back, one of the children came to me after a day of prayer and fasting, and told me that he felt the Lord saying that I should teach Bible in the School. I laughed at it, and felt it quite ironic. Cuz a friend of mine has been telling me for years not to run away from teaching the Bible. I love the Word and I guess it has taken a while to realize that it’s part of what the Lord wants me to do. So I’m teaching the Bible in the school, from grade 1-7. It’s quite challenging at times, but they do learn and wants more of the Lord. Part of the vision for the home is, is that we want the children to grow spiritually. The other day when teaching grade 6, the lesson went on for 2 hours instead of 40 minutes, because of their interest in the Holy Spirit, and how to get baptized in the Holy Spirit. Encouraging, yes it surely is…. Keep praying for them and that their hunger for the Lord will increase.
The school has been going on for almost 8 weeks, and there is only 3 weeks to go before the first term of school is over. The children like being in school, but looking forward to the holidays when they are going back to their villages to visit relatives. I have the privilege to go to Gulu which is in the Northern part of Uganda, with some of the children.
