A Thanksgiving to be Thankful For--Part Two

-------------------------Celebrate the Journey
------Sunset driving from Kabale to Kisoro


Over 150 children enjoyed the Art Program That's me in the gold shirt from "Heartsong "Retreat Days. The back reads "CELEBRATE THE JOURNEY" my philosophy, and I am living it right here with these precious children God has allowed me to minister to--yet another reason to be Thankful !: Sheba then drove some of us to the crash site for Barton to start the emotional healing aspects of his Ugandan journey and then onto Kisoro, where I had the pleasure of their company for the weekend.

Barton with Judith and Vivian--AIDS Orphan Program "World AIDS Day" event


Paddy-cake Paddy-Cake --------Barton's the man + Judith's the girl












Michael and Brent cut a rug-Ugandan-American style


On Saturday, they both attended my AIDS Orphan "World AIDS Day" event and the children so enjoyed and mimicked Brents fancy footwork, while others flocked around Barton, conjuring memories of Jesus' life when he said "Let the little children come unto me". -----Barton is truly a kid-magnet and pretty much an adult-magnet, as well. ------------------------Barton dancing with his Batwa Ladies-Dec 4, 2009


On Monday Brent fulfilled his dream of trekking gorilla's and since they had returned to Uganda from Rwanda and it was off season , he had the experience of a lifetime. Then they travelled to Kabale to visit the Batwa Communities, where there was a large feast and Celebration (which I was honored to attend). It has been a whirlwind of a trip and one that I am sure you can read about in Barton's website http://www.guerrillaaid.com/
