We've Shifted


Yay we are moving!!!

We were crammed into the Smile van on moving day! You can barely see Holly out the back window!

Packing!
Our New House!

 Remember this post? “All I Want for Christmas is a new house please?....Well, it’s past Christmas but we got a house!!! We had stopped praying for the house but God continued to answer our prayer. I love that God continues to answer us even when we stop.

Here’s what happened. About 3 weeks ago now, the founder of Hope4KidsInternational, Tom Eggum, was at Smile, because they partner with Smile, and we were chatting about how life is going in Tororo. He asked if we were still staying in town and I said yes. Somehow he mentioned this guesthouse at TrueVine. TrueVine is a boarding/day school, church and clinic right outside of Tororo. I told him we were interested in the guesthouse and that I would connect with him later. So a week later we heard back from him and connected with Bishop Wilbur who in charge at TrueVine. Pastor Ruth was very excited and eager to help us find a new, safe home in Tororo. She took us to see the guesthouse and we moved in a week later!

This home is such a blessing and luxury! We have 2 extra rooms to house guests such as other AIMers that are traveling through, Mom and Dad now have a place to stay as well! It is already fully furnished so we didn’t have to buy anything. The big excitement is that it has a WASHER, FRIDGE, and GAS STOVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This house is a daily reminder of God’s faithfulness, and I am so Thankful and Blessed! I now have my own room and we are enjoying cooking our own food, etc.

We had our first guests this week! Bill and Laurie Stough are fellow missionaries with AIM. They have been serving Uganda for the past 13 years in Kampala. They are such a joy and blessing to us! We had a great time enjoying a meal and good conversation with them! 

We are so thankful to be able to be hospitable to others and we are hoping to invite the workers from Smile, and to have a movie night or two with the kids that live at Smile!!! It is so much fun to have the space to do these things!
