Small and Simple Things

Sorry sorry sorry! I have been lacking in my posts, and I am very sorry.
So much has happened this past week.  I have been so busy.  But I know it is not acceptable still..I will do better!
Many amazing things have happened this week.  What a blessing it has been to be able to witness all these miracles taking place among these beautiful people who deserve so much.
Monday I was able to do the presentations to the parents of Sam, Joel, and Noel!
We visited Noel's place first.  While presenting, Noel's mother said to us, "I knew that something was wrong, but I didn't know what.  I thought she was bewitched."

Giving Noel's mom the presentation

I'm really glad we decide to tell her what Noel had.  She seemed very grateful for the information and tod us she would continue to teach her daughter how to do things.

I went back to Noel's on Tuesday to give her a present.  A football.  She loved it:) Although when I first gave it to her, she just sat and held it in her lap. 

But when I was leaving, I turned around to see if she was playing with it and she had just barely started to kick it around! I turned around and stayed to watch for a couple of minutes.
Those couple of minutes turned into about 15 or 20 minutes, and I soon found myself kicking the ball to Noel and she was kicking it back to me.  She was so cute! :) I didn't want to leave her!

She was so happy!  I was finally able to see her smile - which is ADORABLE! :) I loved it:)  At times, when she would kick the ball, she was say, "Baaaalllllllll!" :) She also told me "Thank You"
Sam and Joel's presentations went well too!

While presenting to Joel's parents, they told us that whenever they go to the hospital in Kampala, the doctors always say they are "too busy" to see them. :(

I wasn't quite sure what to tell them.  We gave them Moses's number and we are going to research and see if we can do anything for them.
Thank you Eric for translating for us.  We wouldn't have been able to do this without you!

After playing with Noel for a little bit, I leaned over to take this picture, and she copied me and leaned over as well! :) She is so cute.  I love her:)

I love these children so much.  I really will be so sad to leave them.  They are what have made my experience so amazing.  These children have such perfect spirits.  I am so grateful for the experience I have been able to have to get to know them and work with them. :)
