Okay, I know I have been a delinquent blogger. But I was in bed, like flat on my back for the last few days. I came home on Sunday (from Singing) and didn’t feel too well, got to bed early and spent the next 3 days sleeping with small breaks in between where I would [...]
Joni writes: Yesterday I went for a walk with my kids in our neighborhood. Our plan was to go to a nearby store where a young girl works who had helped me by binding some books for free that are part of a music course for the children. We wanted to thank her and give [...]
Another wonderful day at Mulago hospital. It’s nice to have this ongoing project. We were a small team of four today. A reporter from Uganda’s leading daily, The New Vision, came by to interview me about the project. Again, being able to share with others through a small voice and show them how even just [...]
Well whaddya know? Rolling Stone magazine wrote me back. They want to publish my letter. They didn’t say which letter (I did send two). Still, I have a small hope that truth with prevail.

I’m praying that God will supply new ones, but in the meantime we’ll have to make some aesthetic improvements, especially since one day recently all three of our cars were broken into in broad daylight.

It’s been…how would I describe it? Possibly the most perfect weekend of my life! I feel so blessed and so undeserving. Upon waking, I looked out of my tent to see the warthogs gathering around the campfire coals. Dawn mist gathers over the lake, and there’s other wild animal sounds coming from the distance.
Slept in till 9:30 (Saturday is my day off, I’m not just being lazy). We call our day off “W’n’R”, “W” for Word (devotional reading) and “R” for Rest! My mom just returned from Cuddalore, as she had to stay an extra day. We took time catching up on each other’s week. I’m so proud [...]
