"God of this *orphanage*"

"You're the God of this city,
You're the King of these people,
You're the Lord of this nation,
You are.

You're the Light in this darkness,
You're the hope to the hopeless,
You're the Peace to the restless,
You are.

There is no one like our God.
There is no one like you God.

For greater things have yet to come
greater things are still to be done in this City.
Greater things have yet to come,
greater things are still to be done here."

We arrived at Jinja on Tuesday to dancing children and drums! It was beautiful, and sometime, when we welcome another visitor, I will have to take pictures. It was the most incredible welcome I've ever experienced!

Since arriving we have:
* learned some of our responsibilities at the orphanage-lots more work there!
* are on our way to meeting over 90 kids! And learning names-augh!
* remembering why I am here: loving the kids for Jesus.
* today we began our nursing responsibilities. We were worried about not having enough work to do-and now I realize that was silly ;)

It is hard to be here. The kid's stories are so intense. It is not fair their little lives have experienced so much already, at age 16 years, 5 years, 5 months...

More to come, but 6:30am rounds are coming quickly!
