So, I don't know if anyone of you have heard about the bombings in Uganda, but it is very sad. There were two different bombings in Uganda at two different places. Saturday, when I was in Birmingham my sister got a text message from one of her friends that her other friend that was in Uganda on a mission trip, was in one of the buildings that got bombed. All that my sister knows right now is that they are safe and their group got out without a scratch. But unfortunately there were around 60 people total that were killed. They witnessed a lot of deaths that day and I am sure it is tough. My sister is suppose to go to the beach with her friend that was there next week, so maybe I will have more to update you with. Their church is flying them home this week, so we need to just pray that they can make it through all the tough things they have just seen, and still not be too scared to continue to do things such as these mission trips that are much needed. You can google the bombing in Uganda and find much information and pictures on the bombing.
I am also concerned about a young girl and her children that live there in Uganda, that I follow one of her blogs. She is a great young woman that has been blogging about her journey as she has adopted 18 girls and now lives there ministering to the town. I hope that she is safe as well as all of her children. If you would like to read more about her amazing story her blog is kissesfromkatie.blogspot.com. I really encourage y'all to follow her, shes amazing.
