I think it's ok for you to give them a little hug, at least. ;o)<br /><br />All I can say is in my very limited time in Uganda, I know how sparse and non-electrically stable, intestinally challenged, plastic chairy, foam flip floppy, non-matchy life is....I know that much. ;o)<br /><br />And all I really want to do, as I gaze at your gorgeous house, is jump up and down and squeal like a school girl and say, "I loooove your house!!!"<br /><br />You get fresh flowers!!! Oh! Oh! OH! Buy them every day!<br /><br />You have gorgeous floors --instead of chippy red lead painted concrete. They are so warm and inviting!<br /><br />You already know how much I love our sofas. And there's TWO! And they look so inviting... <br /><br />And the quilt on the bed makes me want to lie down and read a book.<br /><br />God is treating you to some really beautiful pleasures, and I think it's perfectly fine for your family to take hold and enjoy. <br /><br />May the Lord continue to bless your work-ministry in the hospital, school, villages, and your home.lauradhttp://lauradodson.typepad.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8176735909708151146.post-61759249071746211512011-03-06T15:49:46.266-08:002011-03-06T15:49:46.266-08:00makes me smile to read of you letting "home&q...makes me smile to read of you letting "home" in and seeing pictures makes the smile even wider.

Many others would have been tempted to think, "I could be getting paid a lot more with less trauma back at home." God is so good, and we are grateful with you for the privilege of being part of the good work he is doing. May you be blessed with beauty and comfort whenever you need it--for a good, long time.Christinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8176735909708151146.post-57617445341263510652011-03-06T08:30:45.702-08:002011-03-06T08:30:45.702-08:00Wow!

Please stop in and see us when you're visiting: the cream colored house next to Rich's, right where the road turns towards Moffat. I had heard from Jason that his brother was in Sudan but didn't remember that he was married to you. Would love to hear more about what you're doing.

I grew up in Uganda for all my childhood years, and now am a missionary with SIM in Sudan with my husband and three little boys. I am a homebody ironically and rather than NOT set down roots, I seem to want to make every home our home. It sure makes it hard to move, but we keep right one moving!<br /> I've been so encouraged by your blog lately. I have several connections with you. My lifelong best friend, Jessica Carr, who I grew up with in Fort Portal, was with World Harvest and I believe you know the Carr family very well. And I'm Jason and Heather Fader's sister-in-law. Nice to meet you.<br /> Thank you again for expressing yourself so beautifully. I have to admit that it's therapeutic to read your blog because so often it's how I feel but I'm just not able to put it into words. You do it for me. May the Lord bless you as you enjoy Kijabe. We might see you one day soon. We return to Kenya at the end of this month. My younger brother Stan is a senior at RVA and we visit him whenever we come to Kenya.<br /> - Bethany FaderFadershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12903787299512751265noreply@blogger.com
