Video Recap
For The Hub this past Sunday I threw together some photos with some music to give everyone a glimpse of the week as we started our gathering. Being that we got into town early that morning, I had to throw it together pretty quick. Since then I went back and fixed the focus on a […]

Where Did The Week Go?
Today we said goodbye to Cherish Uganda. There were lots of tear filled eyes as we did so. We will spend a couple days seeing a little more of Uganda before heading back to the states. But in so many ways this journey has been so much more than we ever could have hoped for. […]
