The Playground is Finished!

Today we finished the playground and painted one of the rooms in the orphanage. God blessed us with abundant rain showers as we finished making and placing the slide and doing some last minute shoring up of the structure to make sure it was very secure. It held Pastor Schneider and his dad swinging at the same time. One of the nuns who said she weighed 64 kilos was worried until we told her that Pastor Dan weighed about 100 kilos, so she was safe. We completely painted one of the rooms with a very deep blue oil based paint on the top, and black paint on the bottom 3 feet of wall. The black paint is to keep the walls looking cleaner longer, when little handprints and fingerprints touch them.Throughout the last few days we gave the Ibanda Babies home supplies to help care for the current 37 children. We brought clothes, butt cream, baby bottles, pain reliever, formula, and two quilts all of which were donated. Food supplies will be delivered early next week. Our host has invited us to dine with him and his family tonight at his home in Ibanda.

  2. I have eagerly been following the "Sharing Our Plenty" blog, and have enjoyed viewing the beautiful pictures as well. Of course, my response is not unlike that of Pastor Dan & Jeri's granddaughter:"I want to go there and tell them about Jesus, too!" ...Greetings and best wishes to Pastor Salam and those we were privileged to meet on Immanuel's first Ugandan trip. Blessings on your remaining days and the inspiring work you are doing.
