Christ School Bundibugyo is a truly remarkable ministry. Hundreds of students have received a quality education taught with a Biblical worldview since it was founded in the 1990s by World Harvest Mission. Over the last several years leadership of the school has transitioned into Ugandan hands and it has continued to bear fruit. This year the school’s exam scores were the highest they have ever been and both the girls and boys football teams competed in nationals!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12pt; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Bundibugyo is a place where every family struggles to find the resources to provide their children with an education. Few girls have the opportunity to attend secondary school and children who have lost their father or both parents have little to no chance of attending. Since the formation of <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:placename w:st="on">Christ</st1:placename> <st1:placetype w:st="on">School</st1:placetype></st1:place>, the OVC (Orphan and Vulnerable Child) Sponsorship Program has also been in existence. The program gives students who show academic promise and do not have a parent to pay tuition the chance to attend secondary school.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12pt; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">The OVC program has been producing many successful graduates from the school, some of whom are teachers there now. Others have pursued careers in medicine, agriculture, social work, or business; often working to benefit their home of Bundibugyo. <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:placename w:st="on">Christ</st1:placename> <st1:placetype w:st="on">School</st1:placetype></st1:place> as a whole is working to empower the next generation of Bundibugyo to bring forth the kingdom. The OVC Program is a special way to empower the disadvantaged who still show great promise.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12pt; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Each year, approximately 60 students are sponsored by Americans through the OVC Program (10 from each grade level). Each of these students has a unique story of struggle and heartbreak but they also have hope and plans for the future. We currently are in dire need of sponsors; 21 students are looking for someone to partner with them through their education. Would you consider investing in one of these students? The cost of sponsoring a student for a year is only $1.65 per day. Prayerfully consider how you might be a part of this movement to bring renewal and hope to Bundibugyo and click <a href="http://www.whm.org/project/details?ID=12172">here</a> to learn more about how to give.</span></span></div>

I love this girl and sadly her time in Bundi has come to an end :( On Friday, her last day in Bundibugyo, we had an RMS Field Day to celebrate her and have one last fun day as a team. We played games, had relay races, and even played in the mud. Anna I will miss you so much! Thank you for encouraging me and teaching me so much! Love ya!<br />

This summer we have a few interns coming to join our team.
One of those interns is Ashley Stephens! That’s right! My sister-in-law! Ashley
is coming to assist me with teaching the missionary kids and leading a small
group at Christ School (as well as to educate our team with her entomology knowledge),
and any other areas the Lord calls her to. In order for Ashley to come in June
she has to raise support, and that’s where I would like to ask you to pray!
Will you please pray and ask God if He is calling you to partner with Ashley to
make it possible for her to come and minister alongside our team? If you would
like to find out more from Ashley her email address is <a href="mailto:amd343@gmail.com">amd343@gmail.com</a>. You can also click <a href="http://www.whm.org/give/missionary?ID=26038">here</a> to
donate online to her support account. Thanks for praying!</div>

Fresh waffle fries, delicious chicken nuggets dipped in Polynesian Sauce with a sweet tea lemonade. Oh how I love it. Well the Mazzio Community Group and my friend Jonathan sent me Polynesian Sauce and my roommates and I looked up recipes online and recreated Chick-Fil-A style nuggets, fries, lemonade (courtesy of the lemon tree outside my kitchen window) and sweet tea. Along with the Polynesian Sauce it was just like the real thing! So webale (thank you) for making Chick-Fil-A possible all the way out in the jungle of Uganda :)<br />

Robert's father is Bishop Hannington, pastor and Bible translator here in Bundi. The church was praying for Chrissy while she was in the US seeking treatment for cancer. Praise God Chrissy is healthy and back in Bundi and we were able to celebrate that with Ugandan friends. Church included Chrissy and I introducing ourselves, answering questions during the sermon, and greeting everyone in attendance. It was actually a lot of fun and I felt so welcome and humbled to be a part of the day. After church we went back to Janet and Robert's house where we sat around with Janet and Robert's family and friends visiting, laughing, and enjoying a Ugandan meal. Here are a few pics from the day.<br />

I have LOVED spending some time in Kenya where I lived for a summer as an intern 3 years ago. Teaching on the go has been a fun adventure. Here are a few photos from our school days in Kenya!<br />

I would not consider myself to be very observant. Last week I actually
commented that I miss a lot in Bundibugyo when we are walking because I stare
at the ground the entire time looking for lines of Safari Ants to avoid.
However, this weekend in Kampala I have noticed a few things…<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
A truck that said, “Water Is Life” with water gushing out
onto the road and into the gutter.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
People shoveling raw sewage onto the street (which I noticed
because I was looking to see where the dreadful smell was coming from…NOT ok).<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
A sign in a parking garage that said, “Caution! Flammable
Substance!” And my thought was…what?! where!? Is the whole garage going to
explode at any moment?! (I quickly found my way to the exit.)<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
There are SOOOO many signs here that either make NO sense,
have numerous misspellings, or are just inappropriate (but usually not on
purpose). There will be a blog post in the future with a collection of these
signs.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Seeing men walking around carrying automatic riffles just
seems normal.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Pulling in front of oncoming traffic doesn’t even cause me
to flinch any longer…they’ll stop…usually.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
When there is a car accident a mob of people will quickly surround the scene of the accident and all start yelling...hmmmm...I don't get this one.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
You can transport ANYTHING on a motorcycle. Seriously...furniture, refrigerators, bikes, a life sized wooden giraffe, live animals, an entire family...seen it all.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Waiting in line for 30 minutes at the bank to find out they
can’t even do what I needed is not even annoying, just typical. (And the five
people that got in line in front of me was fine…maybe they had to go run an errand
in between waiting or something…typical.)<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Waiting for my food for 45 min to an hour doesn’t even phase
me anymore. I can’t even fathom the idea of “Fast Food” working in Uganda. (I
think when I get back to the US I will be blown away by how quickly things
happen.) Today I ordered an iced tea and I went and ran errands and came back for it 30 minutes later to find that it was almost ready.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Ugandans are super friendly, polite, and helpful (for the
most part…occasionally I do hear them mocking me as I walk away, repeating what
I said in a high nasally voice, which is how Americans sound to them).<o:p></o:p></div>

I needed to be in Kampala this week anyway (the Johnsons are attending a conference and I will be teaching Rwenzori Moving School) so I asked if I could squeeze into the plane with them and spend a couple extra days in Kampala. What a treat it was to fly across Uganda, see how beautiful Bundibugyo is from above, and enjoy a smooth one hour ride (instead of the bumpy 8 hour drive we normally have). Enjoy the pictures from the flight :)<br />

back kitchen door and immediately noticed ants on the dishes. Initially I
though…oh man, I guess we shouldn’t have left any dirty dishes out. Then we
noticed ants covering the sink, and the clean dishes, and the entire counter,
and the walls, and the floors…lines of ants were pouring through the windows.
We ran screaming out of the room realizing they were Safari Ants…the biting
kind! We started brushing off our legs and feet to ensure they weren’t crawling
on us. Then we went to work. We got out the Doom and started spraying it all
over them. The Doom brought out the roaches…Anna, who is braver than me,
stomped all the roaches to death while I squealed like a little girl. Josh and
Anna then proceeded to pour kerosene on the lines of ants outside to deter them
away from the house. Oh how I hate
Safari Ants…<br />

This year I was uncertain of how Thanksgiving would be…being away from home, family, and even the US on an American holiday.<br />
<div class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">This Thanksgiving was one of those “I can’t believe this is my life” days. The morning began with a drive to the Kibale National Forest to go on a Chimp Trek. We met up with our guide and walked a little ways down a dirt road until we could hear the chimpanzees calling to each other. At that point we left the path and travelled deep into the jungle following the chimp sounds. For a moment our guide instructed us to wait while he wandered off for about 5 minutes, taking his gun with him. Anna and I just looked at each other hoping he would return as we were in the middle of the jungle, not on a path at all, and without a gun. Thankfully he did return. As I was running through the African jungle, pushing branches and vines out of my face, jumping over lines of Safari Ants, trying not to trip over the dense vegetation or sink in the mud, while trying to keep up with my guide heading in the direction of screaming chimps I decided this was totally worth missing the Macy’s Thanksgiving parade for. We spotted our first chimp and were shortly surrounded by about 6 or 7 more all screaming and calling to each other. I looked at Anna and said, “Do you think this is ok?” Our guide assured us it was fine and continued to encourage us throughout the day to get closer. When I was less than 10 feet away from a chimp lounging on the jungle floor I couldn’t imagine any other place I would have rather been at that moment.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal">After spending about 4 hours trekking through the jungle following chimpanzees we headed back to Fort Portal, where we were staying for our Thanksgiving Holiday to have an American feast (cooked by a Dutch woman and Ugandan man). Our dinner was fabulous, complete with turkey, stuffing, cranberry sauce, green beans, sweet potatoes, pumpkin pie, and the whole 9 yards. I ate until I was stuffed! We finished off the evening by watching Elf.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">While I miss my family and friends, especially on Thanksgiving, I am unbelievably blessed to be in Uganda and am thankful for SO many things. I love that God has called me to this beautiful country and specifically to Bundibugyo, I love teaching Lilli and Patton every day with Anna, my teammates are wonderful, and they felt like family as we all crowded together around the table for Thanksgiving, telling each other all of the things we are thankful for, playing games, laughing and enjoying each others’ company. The weather in Fort Portal is cool and feels like fall. I am thankful that we can have a mini Thanksgiving vacation and time to rest and be refreshed. I pray that my friends and family also had a wonderful Thanksgiving with much to be grateful for. I am also appreciative of the many people who support me both financially and in prayer and make it possible for me to live my life in Uganda. Thank You!<o:p></o:p></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1042764612114335089.post-72572445657262828392011-11-19T15:15:00.001-05:002011-11-19T15:20:27.133-05:00Week In ReviewThe week started out not so great. Sunday morning I walked into the bathroom and noticed dead ants on the windowsill. I looked up to see more dead ants along with many, many, many live ants crawling all over the wall. Then I looked down to see dead ants covering the counter. I decided to brush my teeth anyway. After I brushed my teeth I felt a tingling sensation in my mouth and realized there was poison all over my toothbrush…oops. I walked back into my bedroom to see…Safari Ants…pouring through my window! Then Jess called from the office where more ants were pouring in. Fearless Anna went out into the yard to survey the situation. There were ten lines of Safari Ants poring into our house. These are the biting, ants in your pants, causing you to have to strip down kind of ants! After poring kerosene all around the house and killing the ants in the house with Doom (poison), we went to church. After church I came home and went on a cleaning spree cleaning up the ants that were plastered to the walls, counters, and floor.<br />
<div class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">That was Sunday. <o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Monday is my half-day at RMS. After my morning teaching I have a half-day for prayer scheduled. I came home and went back to my room to find…ants and a huge cockroach on my floor mats. More doom, poison sprayed around the house, and more cleaning… sigh…<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Tuesday was a great day at RMS. I love spending the entire day there. I have fun being with Lilli and Patton and teaching alongside Anna. Tuesday night I was able to babysit for Iye, the sweet two-year-old daughter of a couple of doctors who are here for the month working at the health center. She is such a smart, fun, cheerful little girl and it was a joy to spend the evening hanging out with her.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Wednesday started out with the team coming over for prayer and another great full day at RMS.<o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Thursday afternoon Lilli and I ended the day by reading under the Mango Tree in the yard at RMS. Our dairy cows live in the RMS yard and I loved having them wander around munching on the grass while we enjoyed the shade on a warm sunny afternoon. <o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Friday night I led our team on a study of Colossians 3:12-25. It was a great passage about finding peace in Christ and our role in relationships. Travis and Lilli had saved a Rhino Beetle for us to enjoy and we finished the evening by having Nigerian food made by the Adamarolas…spicy and delicious!<o:p></o:p></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

</tbody></table><div class="MsoNormal">Saturday has been the best day yet. Jessica, Anna, and I have been doing P90X in the mornings, so we got up early to work out. Then, Anna and I cleaned out and organized our front room, I got out the Christmas Tree (the one I brought with me from America <span style="font-family: Wingdings;">J</span>), and Anna and I went to the market and bought our weekly groceries and fabric to have all of our furniture recovered. I went on my first (and certainly not my last) motorcycle ride ever...I never dreamed my first time on a motorcycle would be down a dirt road dodging goats, chickens, people, rocks, and potholes while carrying our groceries and sofa cushions while wearing a skirt. We ended the afternoon by buying cokes and sitting along the side of the road just chatting and greeting people as they walked by. We went home and finished decorating the tree, made shish kabobs on the grill, I got to Skype with my sister Rebecca and BFF Joanne, and we watched a couple of episodes of The Office. It was a fabulous end to a week that started out in chaos. Through everything God reminds me that I am so not in control, which is something I struggle with. But through the lessons I also see God’s faithfulness and provision and the love He has for His people.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
