Ugandan Sisters

Remember Alinda and Reste? They were the subject of the first blog that we ever did. We met them last year at an art fair here in the city. It's an international art fair and it's pretty cool. Alinda and Reste are from Uganda and they travel the world selling Ugandan art.

They came back again this year for the art fair. Benay and I were able to visit with them one day. Then they gave us free guest passes and told us to bring the kids back. A couple of days later we were able to do that.

The kids were just as excited about seeing them as Alinda and Reste were to see the kids. Anderson vaguely remembered them, but Alinda wasted no time in getting reacquainted. We actually left Bronwyn and Carys with them for about 4 hours to help them sell their paintings. They were the interpreters as Reste and Alinda don't speak Portuguese. They had a great time.

When we went back to pick them up we took Ansley (who until then had another commitment) with us.

They've been on our hearts lately as we've been putting the finishing touches on the baby (still no name) and Carys's room. Bronwyn gave Benay a painting from Uganda that our friends had secretly given her to give to Benay as a baby present. After seeing the room color (that Carys picked out) Bronwyn wanted to give the painting to Benay now instead of waiting until after the baby was born. It matched perfectly.

Please pray for our sisters from Uganda. That God will bless them with safety in their travels, with good sales, new friends and their continued ability to show the love of Christ to those they come in contact with.
