Our First Week Here

We arrived in Uganda last Friday and hit the ground running. On Saturday the COG ministry Center was filed with music and dance as over 100 students, representing 8 schools auditioned to see who would be performing at the Children of Grace Dedication Ceremony on October 4th. I'm just glad I was not one of the judges - because if you ask me they were all winners!

At lunch time we're often greeted by a family of "Capuchin" monkeys. They are quite entertaining and are gaining confidence as they come closer and closer to the crazy mzungu's with bananas. Cassidy is pushing hard for a pet monkey now. We'll see........
