to give you a BRIEF overview of what we have been up to in the past few weeks. As I have mentioned before, right now is a huge time of change and transition for the ministry here. Not only are we moving 20 plus boys between different centers we are also hiring a new leader for the Care Center in Gyero. Wisely realizing that throwing a new leader into a place that as already been functioning for several years could potentially be a difficult change for the staff and the boys, Nicky and Elisha decided that we needed to plan a leadership retreat with the Gyero staff and the new leader. The idea behind the retreat was to help the staff and the new leader get to know each other and learn to work as a team before he was thrown into the mix.
Praise the Lord, the weekend was a huge success! We talked a lot about different personality types, and how we can support each other with our different personality types. We studied the passages about the tower of Babel and talked about how we could apply that to our lives. We played several team building games, such as the human knot game and the rope game. The highlight was when our SIM director Phil came out Friday evening to lead a team building game called the maze. It was a great exercise in team building and taught us all a lot about each other and how we can work better together. 
The weekend ended with us traveling to Gyero and introducing the new leader to the rest of the staff and the boys. It was an afternoon filled with joy and excitement. We ate lunch as a staff, and Uncle Elisha bought minerals for all 50 boys and 15 girls at Gyero! 
They were thrilled! :)
