So sorry that in my Africa busyness I completely forgot to announce the winner of the “No Soup For You” contest. Well here it is. Drumroll please…… I am proud to announce that Ashley Carpenter Caneva was the first to correctly identify the chicken parts that were used in making Walky-Talky soup as heads, feet and intestines. Congratulations Ashley, I look forward to presenting you with a nice steaming bowl of this Dark Continent delicacy upon your return to Africa. For those of you who tried carrots as the third ingredient, shame on you, that’s too easy. For all the rest of you….better luck next time. You are truly missing out on one of lifes best culinary adventures. The heads and feet were a dead(no pun intended) giveaway by the name. Ashley astutely spied the nightcrawler-like portion lurking on the edge of the bowl and was quick to identify the third mystery ingredient as “chittlins” (or does that only refer to pig intestines?)

We just returned from the Watoto Conference in Uganda. Was a great time of learning and connecting with like minded people but it’s great to be back home again. Heres one more picture from the conference (what an incredible worship experience) and another of my new friends from the Care Points. He was a much happier camper when I picked him up and just held him tight. If only we had enough people here to do this for each and every one of them every single day. My heart breaks daily for all these precious children. Thank you Jesus for allowing me to share your love with them!! I can’t wait for tomorrow.
