God is Good

It was another absolutely incredible day today. We got to the village and sat down for our church service, which lasted 3 1/2 hours. At one point, my dad and I each had three kids sitting on each of our laps :). There were four baptisms today at the service which was amazing to witness! Everyone outwardly showed how genuinely excited they were that another child was able to become part of God's family! It's astonishing to see God radiate through the smiles of the children. When they smile, their whole face lights up! After the service, we were invited over to eat at the feast which consisted of beef stew (the beef was fresh), matoke, and fried rice. Then, we had a huge dance party in between the trees! Everyone was dancing and singing as it started to rain. There was a huge rainbow right behind the girls dormitory that was absolutely breathtaking. In the Ugandan culture, when it rains and brings a rainbow after visitors come, they say it's a sign from God that it is a blessing that they are there together. It was an awesome God-sighting! After it started pouring, the ladies went into the girls dormitory and started playing games, talking, and singing and dancing. It was so much fun! We are all very excited to go back tomorrow :)

One of the songs that the kids sang today was talking about how good God is! They listed all the things that God has made and talked about how blessed they are by God. It showed that just because someone doesn't have a lot of things doesn't mean that they aren't happy. This was another God sighting!
