We are now in Suubi! On Saturday we moved to our new home, in Suubi Watoto Village. It is located about an hour outside of Kampala (depending on traffic) and it is absolutely gorgeous! The first night being out there, I was able to see so many stars, and it made my heart happy. I was surprised to find that the constellation Orion is straight up! (Orion is usually low on the horizon) :) I knew the stars would be different, but I hadn't actually realized it until then. It kinda blew my mind when I was trying to understand it. The sunsets are also gorgeous. I'm in love with our new home!
Yesterday was our first day off since being there and it was so relaxing. Being in a house is so nice, and has such a different feel than a hotel. It's also great because we have a lot more freedom to just go for a walk and just explore if we want to, since we are in the Watoto Village and it is really safe. I spent most of the day at our house, and outside just chilling and reading and listening to music. Then in the evening I went and played basketball with a bunch of the kids who live in Suubi. They were really good, and I had so much fun!
God has been faithful in so many ways, and I'm so thankful for everything He is doing. "Many, O Lord my God, are the wonders you have done. The things you planned for us no one can recount to you; were I to speak and tell of them, they would be too many to declare." -Psalm 40:5 This is already true, and I know it will continue to be as this journey unfolds more and more.
I will hopefully post some pictures tomorrow. For now, thank you so much for all your prayers! They are so appreciated, and know that THEY MATTER :)
His wonders are amazing aren't they?! And you get to see them in an African sky scape and the family at Watoto. God has a really big canvas to work with...and a fabulous assortment of colors!
