see Mary Ann and Mike McCoy, founders of Children of Grace. They will
be staying with us for the next two months. I am SO excited to spend
more time with them because I already know that they have such great
hearts! I cannot wait to learn even more about Children of Grace (as
I feel I learn more and more every time I talk to Mary Ann). Seeing
them and having them live here now is just another taste of America
and the people that I miss there so I am just so grateful they are
here now. (And Mary Ann brought a Bible study here from the states
that they are doing at CPC right now and Deana just told me how she's
been thinking about me so much while she's been doing the study. I am
SO excited to start doing this Bible study with the staff here!!) And
the McCoy's got a lot of GREAT food from Kampala. I had chicken
breast for dinner last night (Friday) – Thank you Jesus!!!
The night they got to Jinja the staff all came over and started
debriefing Mary Ann on some of their kids. My heart broke as I heard
the story of a girl who is HIV positive with a CD4 count of 75! Her
CD4 count was at 800 only 6 months ago! Immediately Mary Ann jumped
into action and said we are going to go pick that girl up tomorrow and
have her come and live with us. She is so susceptible to any kind of
illness with her CD4 count being so extremely low, therefore we do not
want her in school right now much less staying in her house that is
not as clean as where we live. The clinic told us that she needs to
receive more nutrition because she is also anemic before we can start
sticking her on the ARV's. This is why I love Mary Ann and I have so
much to learn from her and the heart God has given her for His
children. She is all about ACTION. So now I have a new little sister
living in the house with us. She is so precious! I taught her how to
play phase 10 this morning :) And today is her 14th birthday so we are
having cake! :) Please be praying for her CD4 count to go up quickly!
