pat said they took the Bibles and footballs and some clothes to the village they visited Sunday. i didn't hear what the reaction was. they passed a school on the way to the village and stopped and spoke to the kids there on the way back. they visited THREE schools today. pat said they're like a traveling carnival. haha. pat had to leave the phone with craig so that's all i got from that part of the team.
craig said the pastors' conference is going well. he's getting tired - i think they all are - so pray that they would get some rest. he said there were over 250 people at the conference and that yesterday and today it lasted until 6:00 pm! (he also told me he heard that at one school 45 kids came forward and at another school over 100 kids came forward - i'll get details tomorrow.)
here's one story for you: a lady came up to craig and said that while he was preaching she went into a trance and fell into a sweet sleep - then she saw peanut plants growing up around craig as he preached the Word. she said that means that the Word he is bringing will bear great fruit. craig said that's the best excuse he has ever heard for someone just falling asleep during his sermon. :)
i hope i have more for you tomorrow. thanks for all of your prayers!

Thank you for your faithfulness in letting us know how God is working in Uganda.
In the midst of my grief for my father's death, I rejoice seeing God working mightily in Uganda and with the team. I look forward to seeing the pictures of the kids playing "football."

It's so awesome reading about y'all's trip! Amanda- and the rest - we're praying for you. May God work so, so awesomely through you - through soccer balls and testimonies and the conference. And, Amanda, Alex finally sold a car. YAY!
Much love,
