Back in Canada (Partly)

We are back on Canadian soil and were grateful to crawl into our own beds last night after being without one for over 40 hours. 

Now we begin jet lag recovery and all that is involved with readjusting to being first world citizens. All this while a piece of our hearts remain tucked in a little corner of Kampala, Uganda.  A place filled with the laughter, the tears and the singing of children. A place where every day we heard a hundred "ellos". A place where we snuggled, played with and comforted the precious little ones God placed in our path. A place where we were hugged and kissed (and occasionally bitten and spit upon) readily by children, like any other, wanting to be loved and to belong.

We pray for these precious jewels. And for their dear mamas and all the staff at Sanyu Babies Home.  Their faith, their joy and their vision are an inspiration.  

"Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world." (James 1:27)
