Water Wells, Holidays, and African dancing

First off, the internet has been too slow to post the pictures and stories that I wrote on Word this week, so hopefully more is coming...
But until then here is a little more news in and around LCH. Last week workers come out and dug a boar hole (water well) in the middle of the garden. This week they returned to test and see if water was really in the whole. Praise the Lord that running water is there. For three hours they had a generator set up to the hole and were pumping water that they then would take for testing to assure that it is safe. It is the simplest things, like fresh running water, that we so often take for granted but are such a necessity of life.

Next week students will begin exams and as of FRIDAY we will have holidays for one month. I am really ready for a break and to be able to just go to the home and play with the kids. Also, teams begin arriving May 14. I can't believe summer is already here. I imagine life will be fairly busy coming in a months time. But praise the Lord that He is sending out workers to harvest the fields. I am excited.

I can't tell you how my heart falls more in love with these kids each day. Today they surprised all the staff and teachers with a presentation. They wanted to do something to say thank-you, and seeing as they are kids and all they have is what we give them, they decided that since they don't have the means to buy gifts then they would do something they are very good at. So, they called us all together and Allen was the MC of the presentation. She welcomed us and told us that there was a special singing and dancing group from Kampala coming. Sure enough our kids were all in role and dressed in their street clothes (rather than uniform). They sang and danced. I love African dances. Lots of movement and skill. So precious and such a joy to get this gift from them.

That is it for now. Keep looking for another update with pictures and stories.

Prayer request: one of the workers (who washes clothes)- her baby had a lantern fall on her and parafin poured on Baby Gift and she was burned pretty bad. She is still in the hospital. Pray no infection, and quick and complete healing (no scars). Also pray for mom to not be ridden with guilt.
