Today Joanna, another missionary, and I tackled the underwear and sock drawers for both the boys and girls and then the boys wardrobe...what a mess. Jerom came home and thanked us for cleaning his clothes, he loves helping fold clothes and perhaps is maybe a little OCD and so would be the only 4 1/2 year old to appreciate it!

It rained a lot today, actually it seems to be raining a lot the past week. Since slipping on the steps last week, when the rain looks threatening I grab what I want from my room and hunker down in the house. My back by the way is improving, I'm moving better, getting down to the floor is a feat, but I can do it. Actually I'm about to email a physical therapist that is volunteering at a nearby site we do outreach at; she said she was willing to take a look at me and make sure despite what the x-rays said that I'll be ok and maybe add some stretching exercises to my routine.

Have you ever listened to Hillsong United? They are a fabulous praise band that at home I can be found singing at the top of my lungs driving down the street to, windows down and arms raised in praise, they are that great! (Listening to them now.)

I made jello today to celebrate Uncle Godfrey's birthday, none of the Ugandans, kids and adults alike, had ever had anything like it. Honestly, I think they were a little unsure at first, but they all seemed to enjoy it once they got over their initial skepticism.

I also spent some decent amount of time today compiling a list of devotional topics I want to discuss for my next couple times of leading. Ever since taking part in a church-wide initiative to complete a program called E-100 (essential 100 Bible passages; 50 Old, 50 New), I've had a better appreciation for the Old Testament. I still find the judicial, Law-driving text difficult sometimes, but it also has made me more thankful for Jesus and the New Testament and the promises found in Him/it! I'm looking forward to sharing some of the discussions with you.
