Growing Up

We'll it's been a few days since we've sent an update. Things are going well here in Uganda. Sunday we went with James (our driver) to Watoto Church. The music was amazing! We can't wait to go again. Eli did so well during church. He did fall asleep 1/2 way through and it got a little hot at that point, but we really enjoyed worshiping with so many others. They'll be hosting a Christmas Cantata later on in the month and we're excited about it. 

The Harding's (Kathy & Nigel) who we are staying with, have been an absolute God-Send! We are so very blessed to be in their home and to enjoy such wonderful fellowship with them and their son, Emmanuel, and the housekeepers (Richard, Robert & Christine). The home cooked meals at night have been my favorite part :) I can't imagine going out to eat every single night. The weather here has been nice. I've even had to put on my socks and a long sleeve shirt at night. It's not that it's that cold here (because it's not cold at all) but the wind & the fan allows for a nice cool evening. We still must sleep under nets every single night. Eli's net over his crib is somewhat of a sign for him, that it's time for bed and to go to sleep. 

Eli had to go to the doctor today and get a shot. He didn't like it one bit (nor did I). His leg was a little swollen this afternoon and he was very, VERY fussy. But we got him some meds that Mrs. Kathy suggested and he went from grumpy to happy in just a short time period. We've realized the more we feed him, the happier he is. So we fee him a lot right now. This makes for messy diapers (and messy bathtubs sometimes) but we're so grateful that he is eating well, enjoying it and growing. He weighed in at  19.4 pounds today. 

Tomorrow we will be getting ready for Sarah and packing for our trip out west to visit Eli's orphanage. It's a very long trip but we will end up at Mweya Lodge at Queen Elizabeth's which will be well worth the long trip. 

Remember that tomorrow is when we are suppose to get our ruling from our Judge. Please say a prayer for the entire situation before you go to bed tonight. Pray specifically that we receive a favorable ruling. We'd really like a verbal and written ruling at the same time, but most common is the verbal ruling first and the written ruling later.
