Life Is Good

Hello All! Life in Soroti is grand! However, in the last five days, we've had about 15 hours of electricity... :)

We are finally finding ourselves in the swing of things. We've both got our own bikes now, which are helping us gain more confidence in getting around town. We can make it around market on our own, get to work on time, find choir practice, make it to soccer practice with the street boys, and find our own way into town to teach 15-year-olds their alphabet!

Lisa's been spending each afternoon with some street boys playing soccer. There are about 40 street boys in Soroti. Lisa and Bobby (another short termer) are teaching the boys American football! She's also been visiting some families that have children with disabilities. Children with disabilities (both physical and mental) are often ignored or mistreated here. There are a few organizations that offer support to these families, and Lisa and Jennifer (a long termer) are sowrking with some of these organizations.

Steph's been doing a lot of work being with the babies and teaching. She works at the baby home twice a week. One shift during the day, and one overnight shift. A few mornings a week, she teaches a small group of about 10 students who struggle with reading. She's working on preschool with two of the missionary kids, and working with Lisa on a Bible study for a group of girls who live across the street.

Both of us also got an interesting opportunity this week to lead a choir rehearsal at a local church! We'll probably be helping out a couple of times a week there.

Life is good. Thanks for your continued prayer and support! We would love to fill you in more stories when we get home!

Love,
Steph and Lisa
