Day 4

Good afternoon everyone, we started out the day with mass at 7am again, its really great to celebrate the Eucharist as a mission and be reminded of how much of a blessing it is to have this oppurtunity to do God's work. The individual groups continued their projects throught the whole day. The girls dormitory crew finished 5 and half rooms and got the chance to meet two of the very appreciative girls who will be living in the dorms while in school. It was so great to see the excitement on the girls' faces and really helps the day go by. The basketball crew accomplished yet another day of successful training for the youth of lukulu. Bible camp went awesome and 300 of the children received "Love For Lukulu" and "Orange For Aubree" brecelets. They were so excited to see such little gestures of kindness. A select few: Alexis, Liz, Audrey, and Annette got to tour the hospital in the town of lukulu. It was such a great experience and really makes one appreciate what we have in the states. So many things are really taken for granted everyday and this trip has really opened all of our eyes. Jonathon Foldie has the oppurtunity to sit in on 3 surgries later on this week to give him a broader perspective of medicine and other parts of the world. Lastly the same group got to observe while Sister Pat managed to help over 200 babies and give the mothers, grandmothers, and/or foster parents tins of milk and a protein supplement. These babies are either malnourished or very underweight due to problems in the pregnancies. This was a very eventful day and we thank God each and every minute for this oppurtunity! Thank you for spreading the word about our blog and all of the prayers! God Bless
