Here is an excerpt from the one blog that I was able to post while in Africa. It is referring to the 3rd day of our trip:
We went to a place (a remand home) in Kampala today where children who commit crimes, etc... are held while they await their sentencing. There were over 150 kids - mostly boys and a few girls. We spent time introducing ourselves, singing with them,
sharing the Gospel message, making salvation bracelets, and just hanging out.
We were also able to share juice and a few cookies with each of them (food items that they don't normally get). The kids loved getting their pictures taken, getting hugs, and just talking with us about our lives and theirs...God made us all with the desire to feel special and loved, and these beautiful children are no different.
I'm sure they don't realize that they gave us more blessings than we gave to them today.
In my weakness...In His strength,
Stephanie
