Blessed

I want to say that I feel so blessed to have the friends that I do. I am overwhelmed by the generosity that has turned this dream into a reality. Thank you all.

I am excited for this trip and feel honored to be a part of such an amazing thing. This village is going to be changed because of the support you all have given.


Thanks,

Luke

Getting down to the wire


Wow it is amazing how things can come together in a hurry... We had a couple large donations this weekend and are getting a lot closer to our goal. Many thanks to those who have donated to help make this trip a success.

I talked with our Ugandan friend Joseph and he told me that the ground is being worked up right now, which is very exciting.

The one concern I have now is that Joseph asked if I knew how to cook, you know Ugandan food. This could be good or a disaster, beans and rice cannot be too hard to cook, but the goat, on the other hand could be interesting.

I am so looking forward to seeing my adopted daughter, Abito, maybe I can get her to smile some on this trip... and meeting Esther as well.

These children are so amazing, even in the midst of suffering they can find some hope. There is so much that I can learn from them and I am looking forward to sharing in their suffering.
