We spent our morning in Kabalagala, one of the slums in Kampala. Sozo has been developing relationships with families in Kabalagala for a few years. Many of the kids are sponsored through Sozo to go to school, for food, and healthcare. It was such a neat opportunity to get to visit with these families and come alongside them to encourage and pray over them.
One of the families we stopped to visit is the family of Phi, a little girl in the states in medical visa. It was so neat to get to meet her after spending some time with Phi. She was so excited that I knew her and pointed out that they had the same laugh!! We shared some scripture with her and she was so eager to go back and study it more on her own. How I wish everyone in the states was so eager to dive in to the word!
I was also visiting with a JaJa and she went in the house and brought back out her one week old granddaughter for me to hold. What a sweet moment it was as she wanted us to pray over all of her grand babies!
Once we came back to House 1, I got to spend some good time loving on and playing with some of the kids in house. Probably one of the sweetest moments of the day was when the girls asked if I would get up with them in the morning. Of course I agreed, so that means I'll be getting up at 4:30 to help them get ready for school, do their morning chores, eat breakfast, and pray... All before heading out to school at 5:30. Thankfully I can come back and go to bed for a few more hours!!
