Kelsey going to village soon

Dear Team Africa,

As I begin packing for my return to Mawanga- I decided to stop and watch our video from last year- and all I have to say is: I'm going to MISS all of you! It will feel like an empty village without all of you in it!!! But know that i will send all of your love t everybody- and that we will ALL miss EACH of you. Terribly! I actually started tearing up!

Laura, I'll make sure and get up early go to garden. The pineapples are almost ready to harvest! And the oxen are just finished being trained! Tom, I'll make sure and go help get water in the mornings. Ann and Dolly- I'll check in with the new nurses and try to encourage them as much as you would! Sue and Dave- I'll make sure and take my time down the road and soak in all the people and love them like you did. Tom- I'll make sure and hold as many hands as I can as I walk down the path:) And Dianne- I'll try not to slip in the mud:) hahah

Sonia, Miriam, Andrew and Shauna- I'll make sure and take some funny footage to show you- as well as bring some balls for the kiddos:) Cynde and Vicki, I will make sure and spend quality time with the widows- get their stories and try to encourage the people as you would. But that will be hard to do! I pray I can go to Pastor Patrick's church under the tree and see how they are!

Dan and Pastor Wayne, I'll try and lift up Pastor Paul in his walk as much as I can. I pray I get a chance to share in the Sunday Service on a message that the Lord has impressed upon my heart. God using broken vessels for his glory.

Brian- I'll try not to climb any trees..ahhhahh and I brought bug repellent just in case :)

Barry, I'll make sure and spend a whole day at Eddy's university and speak HOPE into his life as you would. And I'll remind my friend, Sherlee, that it's all about the relationships- as you continually reminded us during our trip!

Please pray for Sherlee and I- each time I go the Lord adds a new element and amazement. I have received WISE COUNSEL from the Ugandan pastor here in Singapore, regarding ROWAN and the Clinic which I am dying to share with you. ...

I love you all- and I know we will be talking about All of you once we arrive to Mawanga. They will all be looking for YOU!

Welaba- and Mukama Yebizibwe!

Namugombe :)
