There are so many things to share from this week! God has shown himself faithful in countless ways!
After our exciting news on Monday, God just kept surprising us!
Tuesday morning Mom and two of our friends from the ministry headed to another little village outside of town. They were just walking as the Holy spirit lead them. The first hut they came to was the home of a mother and a little baby who had an extremely high fever. They stopped and prayed for him, the mother was so thankful that they had taken time out of there day to come see her. The next hut they came to was the home of a lady named Jane, she was in her early thirties and had a six month baby named trevor. As they sat down to talk to her she told them about how she was not born again, but her husband had been praying that she would become a christian for a long time. So they just sat together and presented the gospel to her, as they were speaking the Holy spirit did something in her heart and she ended up accepting the gift of eternal life. It was such an incredible miracle! After leaving her house they stopped by another hut, there were three women gathered outside and so they stopped talked to them. They were already believers so they just had a time of fellowshipping and prayer.

Wednesday! Do you remember how I told the story about the widow who we planted a garden for a couple weeks ago? Well we got to go and visit her again on Wednesday. She had been on our hearts the last couple weeks and we really felt the need to go back and share the gospel with her. So we set aside the morning to just spend time with her. When we showed up at her little hut she was there with one of her neighbors, Walter. So we sat around and shared with them. Mom shared what had been on her heart, and we prayed and read them bible verses. Then both Walter and Santina (the widow) shared with us a little bit. Walter told us about how just 4 days before, his wife had left him to marry another man and left him with his two little boys. He was so sad and broken and you could see it in his boys as well. You could tell he was so desperate for something! Something to fill the void in his heart and to comfort him. So he asked if he could ask Jesus into his heart! After that we turned to the widow and asked what she thought. You could tell she was deep in thought. This was the same lady that three weeks earlier said "Even if Jesus came down from heaven and stood right in front of me i would tell him to go away, I don't want your peace." And then three weeks later she turns to us and says "I want him to come and live in my heart."
So I don't see how anyone can tell me there is not a God. He works miracles everyday! It doesn't matter if you can physically see them or not!

But the stories don't end there. Thursday, we just thought it would be a regular day. We were planning on going and visiting the new converts and delivering some seeds. But like always God had more in mind. We first walked to the high school and delivered some seeds to the agriculture teacher and said our goodbyes to everyone there. Then we walked and visited Walter and Santina and a couple of the other new christians and as we were walking past one of the huts. One of the young girls that accepted Christ a few days earlier asked if we would go talk to her friend, patricia. So we all sat outside under a huge tree and started preaching again! And before we knew it we were around her friend as she received the gift of Jesus Christ! We now have six new siblings in the family of Christ! And someday you will get to meet all of them!
We are so excited for all that God is doing here, And we are so happy that you guys get to celebrate this with us! And we are so excited to share all these stories with you in person.
We only have three days let here and then we move on to Kampala and then Rukungiri to see Caleb.
Please be in prayer for these new christians, and that they would continue to grow in their relationship with God.
Thank you all for your prayers! We see them being answered everyday!
