Quick Update...

Quick Update:
I just wanted to send a brief update to you to let you know how things are going for me here in Uganda. Today I finished my assignment for the book of Exodus, so we are rolling already into the Old Testament. I have been pleasently surprised at how much I am enjoying the Old Testament and at all that God is teaching me through it. A few weeks ago we had our oral exam to summarize the New Testament. Let me just say I didn't get an "A", but I did the best I could and know that I didn't miss God! This quarter has really gone by quickly, our next break is for one week in the end of March. The school finishes towards the end of June and its approaching faster than I know.
This past week has been a challenge as something in my back has been out of place. At home I would just go to the chiroprator and get it taken care of, but here in Africa its different. So I've been praying and can already feel God restoring it back to normal. After my back is healed I plan to begin directing pilates for anyone who is interested here on the base. A new discipleship training school of over 35 students just began last week and there is also an Addictive Behavior Counciling school of at least 25 people taking place. People have already shown an interest and I'm really excited to get that started! I don't have a lot of free time, but I want to give back with the time I do have and this is an oppurtunity to do so.
As a neighbor to Kenya here in Uganda, we continue to intercede and pray for the Kenya. Although the violence doesn't cross our borders into Uganda, the economic and spiritual effects are felt.
My sincere thanks again for your support, especially your prayers. If I could only describe the divine protection and encouragement that surrounds me each day, you would better understand my gratitude. God bless you and take care!
In Christ,
Becky
