Sunday In Soroti

What a great day we had today.

Had an awesome church service this morning and Luke and I both were asked to speak again, which we are getting pretty used to now. The pastor talked about the garden after i spoke for a while and the community is really revved up about what they are doing in their garden with the help of "the whites".

After church we packed up an overnight bag and got ready for David to pick us up for our trip back to Soroti. We organized with the community leaders about what needs to be done in the garden tomorrow morning in our absence because we probably wont be able to make it back in time to work tomorrow. We have been getting lots of rain, which is great for the garden, but it has made the road to Soroti almost impassable.

Before we left Oditel today we walked out to the garden with David to show him our work since he had yet to see the garden and the projects we have been working on. I dug up a seed and it already had 2 inch long roots and a nice stem sprouting up. Which means we should be seeing the whole garden sprouting up by the time we have to leave...something i am extremely excited about.

The journey back to Soroti was long and the road was treacherous but we made it safely and managed to have a very relaxing afternoon. We stocked up on supplies that we needed from the market including a few fresh pineapples (they are soooo amazing). We also had a nice speakerphone call with our compadres back stateside at The River which was very refreshing. Miss them all a lot and am looking forward to some bear hugs when i get back.

We are spending the rest of the evening relaxing and getting some good sleep on comfy beds.

I just want to give everyone a word of encouragement before i go for the night.

Please know that we are all very blessed. Each one of us is a child of God and as his children he blesses us daily. I challenge each one of you to look for his blessing each day as you go about your business. It may not be something extraordinary, maybe just something as small as a hug from your child or food on your table. But please don't take these things for granted as they are things that so many people are not granted.

You are blessed and divine so smile and spread that blessing onto others. Because those whom are blessed with much, of much they are required.

Suffer for Others,

Adam
