December Photo Project: Day 23

A sweet gift and a sweet reminder.

December Photo Project: Weekend

This weekend we went ice skating! We had such a great time trying to stay on our feet! haha!

I think I, and every single mom of a small person out there, kept saying "Don't pull me over!" haha!

I seriously love this crew of mine!

Good friends blessed us with Chili's gift cards, so after skating, we went for dinner. So fun!

December Photo Project: Day 20

We have met some of the most amazing people since moving to Milledgeville. One of those people is the kids' bike coach. He organized for his office to bless the kids this year. So amazing. I'm completely blown away by their generosity. God has given us grace upon grace.

We opened all our gifts tonight. So fun!

December Photo Project: Day 18 & 19

So, um...I'm falling a little behind here.

So we have Day 18: The girls were busy making treats all day. Too fun!

And Day 19: I cheated...I actually took this today, but I didn't have any pictures for yesterday. oops! She's cute enough that I don't have to worry though, right?

December Photo Project: Day 13

We went to the Nutcracker performance last night. It was so beautiful! The girls did such a great job and they loved it. They have two more performances still. This is Rebecca with her teacher after the dance. Her teacher is graduating from college and won't be here next semester which is sad because she has been such a blessing to Rebecca.

Prayer Requests

::That we will be so filled with the Spirit so that we become "unstoppable" in the building of Christ's kingdom here in Uganda.

::Good health for all of us and particularly for Dianna's struggles with Primary Adrenal Insufficiency (Addison's disease), Rheumatoid Arthritis and the fatigue/daily struggles that come with chronic illness.

::For KTC: Pray for Eric's teaching to be effective and to be a blessing to the local churches. Pray that God will provide financially for the students of KTC, so that even while they forgo work in order to attend, they will still be able to provide for their families.

::Pray for our church in Mbale. Pray that God will continue to bless her with strong spiritual growth. Pray for the ladies' Bible study on Friday afternoons and the men's Bible study on Saturday morning.

::Pray for our outreach to the youth. Pray that our church's youth would grow in wisdom and be filled with the Holy Spirit so that they would resist the temptations of the world and be lights in the darkness. Pray for the weekly programs for the youth: Friday morning breakfast club for primary students, Wednesday evening supper and Bible study for secondary students, Thursday open compound and Sunday open compound & circle time.

::Pray that our team's diaconal projects in Mbale would be blessed and be used to show great mercy to the people here. Currently, that includes medical treatment at a local clinic (pray for continuing funds and good accountability), and a monthly stipend to the deacons at each of our village churches so they can learn to meet their own diaconal needs (pray that God would continue to provide the resources for this and that the deacons would have wisdom in distributing the funds).

::Pray for education for the youth. Some of our village churches are operating primary schools--pray that the students will receive a solid Christian education. Pray also for the students that attend our church in Mbale to have the school fees they need to be able to attend school and that the students would be diligent to study hard.

::Pray for the pastors of the 10 churches in our presbytery that we work with. Pray that God will bless them with much Holy Spirit power to do their work to the glory of God.
