Baby Obama

Today was the first day for the kids program.  We arrived at the mango tree which was our meeting spot at about 9 this morning the kids being on Uganda time, not many of them were there yet.  I went to get 2 children I saw in the distance to bring them to play with us.  One was a precious boy named Obama.  Like many of the children in the tribe, Obama was a naked little boy no older than one year old.  He became my little friend.  I absolutely love that boy.  He didnt speak at all but he just walked around and played with Cole.  He was a good way to begin my day.  This is him in the picture!  This is later in the day when he actually has some pants on!
The kids program went really well! We started off with a Bible story talking about how God made them and how much he loves them.  We also sang, made dolls out of Matoke leaves, and played lots of games. Although most of the kids did not speak much English because they are unable to attend school, it was a very successful program!
After the program we went back and ate lunch and had a time where people on the team could share their testimonies.  It is such a good way to truly get to know someone.  Everyone on the team has been such a blessing and I have enjoyed getting to know everyone!
Around three is when some of the kids are getting back from school and going to dig in their gardens so we went back out to the tribe around this time so we could see the kids we were unable to see at the program and to continue to develop relationships.  I talked to Consey for the majority of the time. She is such a sweet lady and loves us being there to hang out with her 7 children.
God is so great and has revealed himself in amazing ways while we have been here!
He must increase, but I must decrease. John 3:30
