A New Year

                                        

  
                                         

                           Happy New Year! ( a little late, but maybe it still counts)

         
                                                      Can it really be 2014?
                                            Seems like I just got back to Africa.
                 Feels like it was just a few weeks ago I was eating good ole Taco Bell.
                                                             

                                          But the calendar says it is, so I guess it is. :)
                                                       2013 sure went by fast.


            The Stafford's ( the director of this work and his wife) hosted a late night party. I must admit that I  filled up on a bunch of junk but it sure did taste good. We returned home and I stayed up till midnight talking to a friend. Not a bad way to end the old year and begin a new if you ask me.

                                    I hope everyone else enjoyed the holidays!

     The rabbits are well. I've got them on a nice little schedule. They are feed twice a day; on a diet of mainly pellets and greens and their cages are cleaned out once a week. Here is a picture of the finished roof :

After looking at my presentation a little closer, I've realized that there is a lot that could be changed for the better ( not only the old information). This week, I ( and a gentleman by the name of Adam Rymon) will be working on improving it sufficiently. Adam has graciously given of his time (and his voice) to help this project.

I also hope to resume my bible studies with a young lady named Rahabu ("Rahab" in English). Around the end of December we got together and studied on the unity and the authenticity of the Bible. She said that she believed the Book was from God, but I still thought she could gain a lot from it.  She traveled to her home for the holidays ( she attends St. Josephs University here in Kisongo but her family lives about 45 minutes away.) the next day but said she would be back this week.

May we live this New Year as Servants of the Most High.

P.s. There should be a little bit more to report on in about a week :)

Well folks, it's been a while since I've written and for that I apologize. I just didn't feel like I had much to say in the progress of the library ( or my life for that matter- we traveled here, we traveled there), but now I clearly have enough. :) Since GBN I have tried to contact several people in  many congregations, attempting to get either one-time funds or monthly support.  I've gotten some  no's and have yet to receive any donations. But I've been told that you have to get a certain number of "no's" before you can get any "yes's".  I just spent the last  week in Montgomery. Dad was recording a class that he's teaching at Faulkner ( he's not going to be able to be there for all the semester). Me and David tagged along, hoping to get a few things done. Todd had agreed to give me some driving lessons and Robert Waggoner had told me to stop by when I got the chance and go through some books of his to see if I w...

Success!

                                                                                                   Deuteronomy 15:11- For there will never cease to be poor in the land. Therefore I command you "You shall open wide your hand to your brother, to the needy and to the poor, in your land" The night before the giveaway, several members helped us get everything in order. The foyer furniture was moved to make room for the racks of clothing. Tables were set up for odds and ends like belts and gloves and for the peanut butter and jelly. We had about 20 members sign up to be there the day of the giveaway; We arrived at the church building 30 minutes before starting time, cause you know, there's always last minute things that need taken care of. Tw...

Bibles to New Converts in Uganda!

To all my few but faithful readers, I hope you all have had a fine Sunday! It has been a good one here at Coventry Hills. Around the time we were finishing up gathering Isaya Bwile's needed school funds, Richard Olwenyi (a old school classmate of mine from the Andrew Connally School of Preaching) asked if we might help him out in procuring funds for bibles for the new converts in his area. He preaches for a small but growing congregation.  You know me, I'm all about books and education, so I said we'd see what we could do. The Lord blessed our efforts! Enough money was raised to buy 105 bibles! I thought that number would be 107, but Richard had to use a little bit of the money in order to travel some 4 hours there and back to buy them. You know how you stress out about doing something you've never done before and you realize, "Boy, that was easy. Why in the world did I spend so much time worrying." That's what I did when it came to sending the mon...
