Good evening friends at Plymouth Heights.
Once again, I, Karen, am writing on behalf of the team because they are all busy shoving clothes and souveniers back into their suitcases. Tomorrow morning at 6 am we are departing for a two day safari before the Sliedrechts and I bring them to the airport. I am not sure if you will get another blog from the team or not on this side of the ocean.
Yesturday Carolyn and Bob continued with their trainings. A few team members spent quite a bit of time hanging out with local friends and enjoy the scenery of Soroti. Others spent time in prayer for the sick and needy in the area.
Both yesturday and today Judy, Ernie, and Bonnie were able to assist at a local YWAM primary school - reading one on one with a few of the students and they absolutely loved it.
The team was stretched today by an eye-opening visit to the hospital. Cats and chickens roamed the halls. IV's were just attached to sticks, or nails, or whatever could be found. Caregivers slept under the beds of the patients. Weights are tied to the feet of children who are having broken bones pulled back into place. The team was invited to watch a delivery, but they turned that down. :)
Debriefing, packing, saying good-byes, and journaling their thoughts about their very rewarding trip has filled a lot of their day.
Thank you Plymouth for continuing to pray for and encourage your fellow church members.
