James 1:27

"Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world."

T.I.A. - An update from Africa

(Update by Meg's Dad)

T.I.A. - This Is Africa

Although the girls have been in Uganda for about 2 1/2 days now, we finally had a chance to talk with them by phone for the first time since their arrival. They are well into the swing of things, working with the kids for the first full day today. It sounds like their travel difficulties - which they will likely share more about later - have all been worth it so far.
Communication has been difficult, as the internet at Amani is experiencing some problems right now. And Melanie is still waiting for both her bags to arrive. If the girls weren't close before, a few more days of sharing everything from shirts to underwear will likely bring them a WHOLE lot closer.
It sounds like working with the kids is going great for both girls. They had a chance to take some of the children into Jinja for shakes earlier in the day.
The girls are getting ready for bed right now, and are just about caught up on sleep. In fact, Megan mentioned that the first day after they arrived (Tuesday) they slept until 4 p.m.
As the internet issues are resolved, Megan and Melanie will share more about their trip. Please continue to pray that they will remain flexible (they have done an awesome job in working through their travel issues) as they help at Amani, and for the children and full-time workers there.
