Day two is now coming to an end. (For us, anyway.) Today, we traveled back to Buloba Community Church to hang out with the kids. Today was what they called "Center Day". It is a lot like our Vacation Bible School, but held only on Saturdays. Even though the two sound very similar, it was a great and different experience to all of us.

When we arrived, the children were gathered in the church singing and dancing along to some worship songs.We snuck into the back and clapped along with them as they sang. For a lot of us, the sight of those children praising God so full-heartedly and so full of energy, brought tears to our eyes. It is such a blessing to see these kids loving God and praising Him for the things that He does.

After worship, we introduced ourselves to the kids and had someone interpret a little for us. It brought a smile to my face to hear the kids welcome us and clap for us.

Today, we also got to watch the kids give back to the church. Half of them went down to the well to get water and the other half began clearing out the church. Our team did the same; half of us traveled down to the well to help the kids and the other half stayed to help clear. Once we were finished removing benched from the church, we all walked back down to the well to see if we could help. That view alone was a sight to see. These kids, many of whom are younger than ten, took the trip to the well about five different times. And each time, they had smiles on their faces and a skip in their step. I had one little girl who couldn't have been but seven years old, hand me a jug of water and I carried it back up the hill. That was an experience that left me speechless. I, at seventeen years old, was huffing and puffing up that hill. The little girls beside me, were laughing and talking to each other. I barely had the every or the breath to do either.

Our team then got to serve lunch to the children. We scooped porridge and handed out pieces of bread. Whenever these kids were served they would reply with a thank you and a short bow/curtsy. That was new and a little startling. I have had people thank me before, but never has anyone bowed to me while thanking me.

We ate lunch at Pastor Eva after serving the kids. No matter what meal we are having at the moment, it is amazing and very filling. Pastor Eva was very welcoming and we all enjoyed speaking with her about her family and her house.

After lunch, we went back to the church and met our sponsor children. We were able to take pictures and to talk with them a lot, so it was a great surprise to come back to. The children then took us to the field again where we exercised and played a game that was very similar to Red Rover. It was a lot of fun to jump around and cheer with the kids when their team won.

We are now back at Patrick's guest house having our down time before dinner. Today has been such a great one and God has been blessing us so much already. Tomorrow is Sunday and you guys know what that means. Church! I am very excited to see two Ugandan church services and can't wait to the Father's love and glory blow throughout those places. We will probably post pictures tomorrow! Much love to everyone from Africa!
