Wow! What an amazing trip this past week has been. My wife and I have been in Africa, specifically Uganda, with our church. We have been helping at our friends, the Emuku's, church and hospital. I have to admit I was very anxious this time to go to Africa as I went in between weddings and during a very busy season. I had not really had the time to think about the trip and all the exciting things we would get to do and the amazing people we would come in contact with. Once I got here I immediately remembered why I came.
We have have been so blessed just getting to serve others and be a part of the amazing work that God is doing in Midigo Uganda. This last February they were able to open up the only surgery center in Midigo which was a huge deal. On Sunday I was privileged to watch and shoot the birth of a beautiful little girl who was born by c-section. Had the surgery center not been there both her and the baby would have died. So needless to say it is so exciting to know that there is now this place in Midigo that is saving peoples lives.
I am sure I will post more but I just want to post some of my favorite images of the young ones that so touched our lives this last week.
