Just a quick hello

Hello, I just had another unexpected free time, so i thought i'd write a bit. I went to the orientation for my service project and the head guy, Julius, is so neat. He has such a heart for the kids. His premises are about 15 minutes from here and he houses many children that he has taken off the streets already. anyways, we will be going to the streets of Kampala, about 30 minutes away, where there are children ranging from ages 4-18 just living on the streets. they beg and do anything else they can to be able to live. Many have not been to school and do not speak english either, or at least its very broken english. WE learned that we will be going down, talking with the kids, maybe doing some bible studies or testimonies or talking one on one...really, Julius is open to anything. Or we might just take them out for doughnuts for a treat or something. I'll be going down there every tuesday from lunch till dinner. I hope and pray God would teach me through this and if it is his will that I may be used to help some children down there. one of julius's main goals is to get them off the street, and often that's just by talking with them and helping them decide to return to their village. But, most importantly, he wants us to be able to share about the Lord with them, and I'm so excited about all this.

Lastly, I will say that the program has us going to our home stay's on friday, and we stay there for about 2 weeks. It's hard to get used to campus and the friends i have made in the dorms then suddenly have to leave, but i also know that it will be a great learning experience to go in an actual home and see what home life is like. I will hopefully tell you more as I experience it these next two weeks. so, those 2 things are really my prayer requsts for now....the service project and the home stay.

Oh, and by the way, I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to get some mail, yeah, snail mail. It would mean the world to me if i could just get a letter with a couple of sentences, just so i could carry it around with me and read and reread it, haha. :) no, but seriously, i would be soo sooo thankful for something written, even if it isn't much. plus, it takes like 3 weeks for anything to get here, so send it soon!!! love you all!!!!
