My Ruth

This is a recent picture of Ruth. She was a bridesmaid at her friend's wedding in Kampala. She is so beautiful!

Farewell for now!


Ruth and her entire family came out to say goodbye as we left Uganda. It was heart rending
to leave her. But I will be back soon!

They gave me a hen! Behind me in the matching blue dress
and head band is the honorable Idah Mehangye. She is very
beloved and respected by our entire group. She is responsible
for our very presence in Uganda. Her husband's name is Henry.
I serenaded her with my best rendition of the old Herman's Hermits
song "I'm Henry the eighth I am! Henry the eight I am I am..."
So many mornings my fellow missionaries wanted to slug me but I don't know why!
Idah was amused!

This is the family that I sponsor through our organization.
The grandma had polio and she can’t walk. The kids’ parents
died of AIDS.

They were glad to see us!

The kids will melt your heart!

Bonjour!
