Hi! Sorry i'm late on posting all the MMPC stuff..but i've come down with the stomach bug (And let me tell you stomach bug+no running water=NO FUN!) :( And i just don't feel up to posting all the stuff just yet..so i'll TRY and post the winner and finalist later, but there isn't going to be a theme this week. Super sorry guys!!!
That past few weeks have been slow...but we have an exciting week ahead of us!! We are going to a friend's baptism tomorrow (over in Entebbe, at Lake Victoria!). Then we're taking a trip up north to Gulu!!!! I'M SO EXCITED!!
But lately i've been..
Doing school (blah), blogging & editing pictures, drawing & writing :D, and reading Red Bird by Stephanie Grace Whitson , the final book of the Prairie Winds series...i'm going to be so sad once they're over :(
I've just finished reading Soaring Eagle the 2nd book in Prairie Winds! It's my favorite book so far in the series! I definitely recommend reading this series! They are wonderful Christian books :)
Please pray that we have a safe trip to Entebbe tomorrow, and a safe trip to Gulu on Tuesday :)

Sorry for posting the finalist late {again.} But yesterday was my birthday, and both of my parents are sick, so i've been dealing with the little kids.
Yesterday {the 14th} I turned 15! It was my first birthday to be celebrated in Uganda :)
But sadly my mom & dad both got sick :( So we opened presents, sung happy birthday, and made yummy brownies {Thanks Danika for the yummy recipe!}, and then i told them both to take a nap! But it was a very, VERY good birthday! They did their best to make it a good birthday for me WHILE being sick, and i'm very thankful to have such an AMAZING family!
For the past week i've prayed that God would let it rain on my birthday! And our house-help laughed at me, and i told her "It's going to be God's birthday present for me! He's going to let it rain." So on the 14th i waited and waited, and the dark clouds rolled in, and God gave me a rain shower for my birthday! So this morning when Mama Benna (our house-help) came over, she started laughing and she said "God gave you what you wanted!"
Thank you God for the AWESOME birthday present!
For my birthday i got BOOKS {of course :D}, a purple flash drive, yarn, and............
A beautiful camera bag {courtesy of Jo totes}, and it is ABSOLUTELY wonderful!!
Here is the inside {nice and spacey ;)}
Isn't it beautiful?
And it has a cute little rose in the front!
I love it!
Thanks everyone for the birthday wishes, and thanks to my awesome family for making this a wonderful birthday :D
