Tororo

After a five hour bus ride, we finally arrived in Tororo, Uganda! We met up with Brianne and Amanda, a couple girls who have been at Smile for 5 months, and they have been great about showing us around the town. I am getting used to responding to "Muzungu!" which is a respected term for a white person. Everywhere we go, people are calling us this. Boda (mopeds/motorcycles) stop everywhere, wanting to give the Muzungu a ride. It makes me so happy to be able to make a child smile so big simply by waving at them. I don't think I will ever grow tired of it!

This morning, we went to church. It was a long service on hard benches, but the church was filled with such beautiful people. I was completely humbled by the way these people worship. Woship is a way of life for them, and praise seems to naturally tumble from their lips. When the singing would stop, everyone would just start praying, adoring their King of Kings with praises. Such a beautiful sound!

The hotel we're staying at is nice... we even have a flush toilet! And we have a beautiful view outside our room of the Tororo rock!

Tomorrow, we will start at Smile... mostly observing and playing with the kids for the first few days. We would love prayer for wisdom, for love, and for boldness. Thanks so much! Love and miss you all!
