I was pleased that the conclusion was not to ban all STMs, but to prayerfully seek God as to what would be best for the people you want to minister to.<br /><br />But I definitely think your trip to Uganda will be incredible because your 2 girls will get to meet you and Devin! You are investing in their lives every single day and what a blessing it will be for them to get to know you both during your trip there! And your comment about not planning on buying a house anytime soon made me think...Hmmm...maybe Jen and Devin will end up moving to Uganda. I'm excited to see what God has in store for you two!Bethanyhttp://www.xanga.com/YoYoYodernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3664832721116542494.post-44290565665347056962010-11-16T21:07:54.484-07:002010-11-16T21:07:54.484-07:00Okay, I read it (When Helping Hurts).
