I was very dissapointed today. I went 3 weeks without wearing a seatbelt. They do not exist in the taxis or motorcycles we ride in. But today, I got in the car with Jena... that means BUCKLE UP! I guess my streak is over...
For all you parents and grandparents:
Don't worry. I'm beings safe... Well, mostly safe.
Today was my birthday. I'm no longer a teenager. I'm actually kinda dissapointed about that. But i guess it's fun to enter my 20's while in Africa. Today was a great day. We met up with pastor Joseph (He's the fourth Joseph i've met). We went to a very poor community called Kisugu. I got to share the message today. It was really good. Jana was also asked to share. Right before we started, Jana and i discovered that God gave us the same message. This was really encouraging because we knew the God wanted this church to know this, and it was cool that He was using us. I have discovered that it is really fun to speak with a translator. All the translators are really funny guys. They love to translate our words into Luganda and extravagant body language. It's really fun. The music and worship over here is amazing, by the way. It's honest...the way it should be.

Thanks for sharing your pictures today. It was nice seeing what you did on your birthday! I can't believe it was 20 years ago that I sat in the hospital holding my new born baby Jake in my arms. I can't express enough how proud of you I am. You are such an amazing young man. I'm glad you had a good day. Tell Jena I said to DRIVE SLOWLY! :) I love you!!
ReplyDeleteIt was great to hear from you this morning. I am proud of what you are doing. You are living the dream of many people. I'm happy that you can live this adventure and touch the lives of so many people. I pray for you every day, Jake. Be safe. ><>
