Hello, hope all are doing well, today Tuesday was a beautiful day, full of sunshine and lots of smiles and love to go around.  We started out our day with a group breakfast and then we loaded up the bus with some tooth brushes and tooth paste for the children and with gift packages for the teachers.  We headed out for the school and after picking up the vocal group members in Kalingalinga, I stayed back with Sylvester to go and exchange some money and to drop off some pictures at the print shop to have them enlarged.  But, Sylvester had the keys to the storage closet at the school, which had all the Coca Colas that someone had donated to give to the children, so we had to hop on a taxi and bring the keys back.  At the school all of us started to give out the toothbrushes and toothpaste plus Coca-Colas to the students.  Talk about being happy, them kids were very happy for the colas, cheers went up when we walk in with them, but they were not so joyful with the dental supplies,,, I wonder why.  All morning long, all you heard was singing and praises, very excited bunch of children, I pray that their joy just keeps on growing and that our mighty God with continue to bless them.  The teachers were so grateful for the gifts we had for them and they too were just so full of joy, they tell us all the time how this has blessed them and the children alike.  We know that they have a hard task and we also pray that God gives them the strength to "keep on, keeping on."  Just before we left for lunch we were just milling around and taking pictures and soaking up the last few hours we have at this school which brings so much hope to a poor community.  I ask all to PLEASE  pray and to support missions like this because they do make a difference.   Thank you and my God bless you all.
