Some photos for your liking

We thought we should be better bloggers and give you some photos!

Lydia, Logan's friend. They have been meeting every week for discipleship...Lydia was being pursued by Watchtower folk for a while, so it was really timely when her and Logan started meeting up. Jehovahs witnesses and Mormons run rampant here..

  
This is Lily and Aaron's family, some friends of Gracie's. Aaron is the boy in the pink on the far right. He had Osteomyelitis, but through an anonymous donation of $400, we were able to help him get operated on...he is very excited! Please pray all goes well and grace-filled these next few weeks as he heals after the operation. 

This is one of our dearest friends at Alpha (where we are staying). He is called Patrick, we love him so! 

May we introduce to you dearest Opio. He is the sweetest thing, cant even begin to explain how lovable he is. He is staying at Atin Afrika center for street kids. He was completely abandoned by his family because of his down syndrome. Most here believe disabilities are a demonic thing or result of ancestor sin, so they are ashamed and reject disabled kids. So, Opio is staying at Atin but the hope is to find a family to adopt him. The Ugandan who runs the center believes this will be the best for him---because he literally has NOBODY. But we love him so much. If any are interested, please email Gracie. Like I said, this child is a treasure and needs a family; he soaks up any love and nurture that is shown to him and will melt your heart. 


Exciting news with these folks! They are a family of six from San Antonio, church planters living her full time for five years! We met them at a mzungu bible study we were introduced to (which was awesome by the way) last Wednesday. We clicked with them immediately and have enjoyed them so much already

Cowboy hat, and fellow texans...gives Gracie great joy

These are the boys Gracie is attempting to teach art, bible, and photography at Atin Afrika. They are a complicated bunch but need a lot of love. 

Bus rides: we love them 

This is Lucy, Gracie's friend...they meet weekly and talk about Jesus

Logan and Josephine, the best duo I know

A team from California stayed at Alpha for a few weeks, working on digging wells in the villages (a way to help). They were great to have around! 

Hope you enjoyed! 
love, logan and gracie
