July 11, Day 11

Hello friends and family,

Oliotia from Uganda! I am enjoying the wonderful weather here, around 80 right now, and its considered hot. Today we took the kidz from the orphanage to a pool in Kumpala, the capital, about 15 minutes away from where we are staying in Nansana. The team is getting along great, and I am truly loving the country. Its different from last year, everything is more spaced out in time frames and we are getting a lot done. Here are a few things I can remember from the past week and a half that has happened or amazed me... or both!

- At least 2 kids were healed from the cancer ward after prayer. I took part in the prayer, God did the healing. Both were dealing with pains and cancer in the stomach. One of them was able to finally eat, and the other got up and was dancing around, he had a huge smile on his face. Praise Jesus!
- The Kids at the Orphanage (Kidz house) are doing great, and a majority of them are going to school, which is hard to come by in Uganda, it costs a lot. I got to look over a few of their books (grades) for the term, seems like they need a bit more studying :)
- We have slashed up some bush about 100 yards long and hoed the ground to make a road for the farm in the romote village. It was a lot of work, but it was great.
- We built a small 1 room house for a lady named Mamma Flavia in 4 days, with the help of some hired Ugandans, of course.
- We have worked in the slums, loved on the kids there, and have met several ladies that we will be pouring into in the next few weeks. Its been amazing hearing their stories and being able to pray for and with them.
- Morning devotion is awesome, and its getting better every morning. I got to lead one in worship so far. It was fun, but I haven't done it in a long time, so I was a bit rusty.

That is just a few things that is happening now. Its been great so far, and I love everything about it. It has been very busy and hard work, manual labor. I probably have lost a good 5 pounds already. The food is amazing, nothing processed, all fresh. Take that America! Ha. I will be adding pictures soon, hopefully a few before I get back. Thanks for the continuous prayers, and I hope to update again next week. Unfortunately last week I was unable to update because of time constraints and the fact there were no vacant computers to use at the internet cafe. Love you guys, peace out.

In Christ,
Matt Murnan
