Peace amongst the chaos

My mornings always start with me climbing in my hammock with my Bible. It's my happy place. I could not think of a better place to relax and find peace. There is chaos in the city: dogs barking, boda bodas, horns honking, roosters crowing, kids laughing and screaming, and people chatting outside the compound. However, our compound is so quiet, and the hammock around me makes me feel so safe and almost invincible. I need to do a better job of finding peace amongst the chaos back home. It's so much harder because there's always something I could be doing or someone I could be hanging out with. You guys hold me accountable! 

This morning I went to Katalemwa, the children's home/hospital. I got to observe some OT! I have to get the director's approval before I can do hands on. Hopefully I can do that on Monday. The therapists there remember Lola! They were so excited to hear that she was doing so well! :)  I was actually really impressed by the therapy provided. Lots has changed! Soooo, so great! Their definition of OT is the exact same. It's so great! I thought maybe it wouldn't be.

This afternoon Sarah and I taught P2 (primary 2 - second grade). We did the body parts and played the hokey pokey and sang "head and shoulders, knees and toes." Hysterical! The kids loved it. It's the best feeling being bombarded when you get out of the car. So much love to give! Here's some pics of the kids today. 

Time is flying by, and we're having a blast. The Ugandans LOVE pralines! I should have brought more. :) 

Fun fact: When they go to universities, they don't choose what they study. They are placed based on their scores, 

Praise The Lord!
