Friends and Family,
So I’m going to try to keep this update a little shorter as I give you a chance to check out some pictures. I’ve attached a JPEG file that has 7 pictures on it. All I’m going to do is share about each one so you know what they’re about and then tell just a little about what’s coming up in just a few days.
Picture 1-> Me playing with some of the little ones at Heritage International School. 2 weeks ago I was able to go for a few days and help lead their P.E. time. It was a blast! We played toilet tag, we danced, we just had a great time! They were/are so cute. Picture 2-> The boat ride right after the group from the US arrived in Uganda. We were traveling to Comey Island for the night. They were all exhausted after the flight, but we only had a few days to show them so much. So we got right on the water and enjoyed our time with them so much. BTW the boat ride was almost 3 times as long on the way back because of the number of people we were carrying. Picture 3-> Arrival snack… when we arrived there was fresh Tilapia waiting on us… quite yummy, even though it was staring at us while we ate 
. Picture 4-> Howard Megill and I emerging from our short night in the tent. The night before really wiped us out as we danced, watched a Jesus video on the Island, and also took a late night hike in the dark (so awesome). With all this outdoors stuff, hiking, camping, cooking over the fire, and danger all around (only minimal mom) I really felt like a man! Anyway this is only part of our “camping village” that had 10 tents I do believe. Picture 5-> My first time baptizing someone! What an honor. If you don’t know the story check out my blog site or facebook notes. Picture 6-> Second baptism, I am carrying Grace out of the pool as her clubbed foot made it quite difficult to maneuver. Again check out the story (http://lovegodservepeople.wordpress.com) Picture 7-> Ester Wafula. The most beautiful child I have ever seen! David, her father is the director of TAPP in Africa and is a man that I carry deep respect for. A good friend and brother in the faith. His daughter is one of those little ones who just capture your heart with her huge smile. She seemed to recognize me from the start from a year ago when we first met. Really interesting. Tons of fun! OK so that’s it for the pictures for now. So here’s a little taste about what’s next. I’m going to the north! On Friday I leave to travel to Lira to visit with Rev. Martin. He is the northern regional director for the COG and has graciously agreed to house me for the week. I’ll be traveling around for a week meeting youth, doing some teaching, seeing the schools there, and going to some IDP camps in GULU. I’m really looking forward to getting to hear many of the stories and such from these people who have faced so much in this part of Uganda. This week will stretch me a good bit as I’m away from the family environment of the Stevensons and have to face some pretty hard stories and ultimately all the processing alone for a week. Should be a great week. Please pray for me. Hope all of you are doing well. I would love to hear how you are doing! Love God love people,Joshua Weiger
