Cookies

We have decided to start a cookie-ministry. That's right. Stacie is ridiculously passionate about baking cookies, and upon realizing we have all ingredients available at our disposal, the madness has begun. . . And, AmyRose is also quite fond of baking now as well :) Our first batch was made yesterday, and was a big hit among our Ugandan friends, so we decided to take a few to our dear friend Baka, who owns the small shop in town where we go for soda and chat about the day and our 'program' and whatever God happens to be revealing to us at that time.

After delivering our cookies to Baka and seeing the enormous and gracious grin that resulted, we have decided to bake often, and for many. We plan to bring cookies to the orphans of Abba House, as well as our internet cafe women-friends, as well as anyone else that comes to mind. Also, we will put the verse from Psalms that reads, "Taste and See that the Lord is Good," on the bag in which the cookies are delivered. Hahaha. TASTE--get it ?? :)

In other news, God has been gracious to answer our prayers concerning unity/dissension within the house, and has brought about difficult but rewarding conversation with the 'mother' of the house that has brought a great deal of understanding and unity.

Today we have a meeting with Pastor Kaya and Deborah concerning Abba House, which we trust will go well and we will learn what we need to know and get much accomplished.

WE COOKED OUR FIRST UGANDAN FOOD!!! That's right. Last night we had a cooking lesson with our dear Ivan (our right hand man/body guard), during which we learned how to make Chipotie (sp?). Absolutely amazingly delicious. Upon our return to the States, we plan to make chipotie for each and every one of you faithful 'blog followers.'

Sorry that it takes us a few days in between each blog that we put up. We do appreciate all of you who are patiently awaiting the blogs and the faithful followers who read and respond!! We thank you for your prayers and comments!!

We purchased the Childrens Act which is a book of law that explains all the rights of a child here in Uganda. It has been in law since 1997 but has not been enforced until more recently. With this book, we are going to be able to be well-informed in our meetings when beginning the NGO. Continue to be praying for the process getting the NGO started and what we are supposed to do after this!! We are sooooo excited to be here in Uganda and all that God has already been showing us...

Also be praying that we will actually get some rest at night because here lately we have been waking up every hour and having the craziest dreams ever!! Maybe on our next blog we will expain some of these dreams as they may be quite humorous to the majority of you!!
