Well Julius went to Kampala on Saturday to fix his cleft palate. Needless to say, he returned home that afternoon without surgery. The surgeon decided that he needed to see a specialist on the 2nd of October, and have surgery on the 3rd.
We have not had one person offer to help offset these expenses. Please pray about helping this little guy! He is so smiley and wonderful! We think that $300 would get his surgery and expenses covered.
We are also asking for everyone to consider helping out for Christmas here at HCU. We would like to get the childen some items for Christmas. If you decide to help donate for this cause please put Christmas money in the paypal memo line.
We thank everyone for their prayers and support!
Blessings

Julius
This is our Julius!!!
He is so very happy here, and always has a smile for everyone. Julius has a partial cleft palate that is being fixed today!!! Praise the Lord!
We are asking if you can help us with the expenses of his surgery. Dan the Dr is once again helping us, and has found a DR that is performing the surgery free of charge but we have to pay for medicines and transport. We will also have to give something small as a token of our gratitude. This whole thing should be around $200 so please if you feel led to give we would defiantly appreciate it.
This surgery is going to help Julius in oh so many ways, we are very excited!
Please be in prayer today for this little guy.
Blessings to all!!!

Visitors!
This past week we were blessed with some visitors from the Netherlands.
Here are a few pictures of their time here with us.
They helped us hand out Albendazole to the children in schools. THis is a necessary medication here due to the lack of clean water.
They made some children very happy with some gifts....
They donated some clothing as well, HCU was so incredibly blessed by their visit!
They also donated 2million shillings toward a refrigerator for HCU, please pray with me that we find a nice one on sale so that we can purchase one.
All for HIS glory
Blessings to all!!!

Sad Day
Randy left for the states saturday night, we are all very saddened that he had to leave.
This journey has given me new appreciation for people that are in the military. It has also given me a new appreciation for my husband that I never knew I could have. I appreciated him before, but now I feel our relationship has gone to a whole new level.
Randy is so very self sacrificing for the Lord and his family. I am very very lucky to have such a Godly husband. He obeys the Lord, and most times that is the hardest thing to do in this world!
Please pray with us that we will become fully funded and that he can spend most of his time here with us in country. Please pray for the children and I and God's protection over HCU and everyone within. We know that with prayer these things will happen.
Even the dogs miss him when he is not around!!!!

Deworming and a Day Visiting the Baboons
One part of our ministry that we feel is so absolutely necessary is our deworming ministry. We have been trying quite hard to get this program up and running, but nothing happens quickly here in Uganda! This is our visit to some villages in Mityana District handing out worm pills and loving on the people.
Yesterday we traveled to Kibale Forest, the visitors center, and got to see monkeys and baboons!
We took a van full of workers and children. I think we all had a really good time.
We took Douglas, the boy that helps us digs our land. He has not left his village much, and got car sick along the way. Emma went in search of the local village medicine for vomiting, and gave that to Douglas, declaring quite confidently that he will not vomit again!!! Guess what! Douglas had no more problems that day! Praise the Lord!
Here are some pictures of our journey yesterday!
Please keep praying for HCU, Randy leaves Saturday for the states, and this makes us very sad, but we know that everything is in God's timing. Please pray for our finances as things are very tight til Randy brings in his paycheck, and rent is due soon!
Blessings!

Update on Joseph, Uganda and More!
Joseph was FINALLY able to have his surgery last Friday. He came home with smiles on his face.
Please pray that the bone regrows properly, and that all the infection was removed this time!
He takes everything in stride and is doing so good!
We have been very busy this past few weeks visiting all the sub-counties of Mityana District.
We thoroughly enjoyed finally viewing the area in which God has sent us to serve!
We encountered a few oddities that educated us more about the people of Uganda.
Here is a couple examples,
We were nearing a deep village area, and we started seeing these at every pathway to a house.
We asked Emma, what on earth is this about? Why are there crosses at every house?
Emma said, the villagers believe that the devil comes at night and calls their name, so for protection for their house and the people within them, they put these crosses made from soot at the pathways to their houses to ward off the devil and keep him from entering.
The triplets are recovering nicely!
This picture was taken at the Mityana Hospital at their last check-up.
Please keep the prayers coming for HCU and the people we serve in Jesus name!
