Update from Alicia!

Wyatt and friends

Home on the ranch

Some highlights from our trip to far...

  • Wyatt singing "thank you Jesus" in swahili on the plane with a young woman from DRC (he learned the song in choir at our church!)
  • Hearing Dolly Parton over the radio in the mall in Kampala singing "Joleen"
  • Susan, our helper in our house, cooking us an amazing rice & beans dinner our first night
  • Flooding Wayne's house...twice!
  • Sharing a lunch of PB sandwiches with Wyatt's new Ugandan friends, Caleb & Opia
  • Susan's chipatis!
  • From Katie Mae "I love that here, everywhere you go you see people's footprints"          (she meant because most of the Ugandans walk barefoot, but I think about all of the people who have made a difference in this place & have left their prints all over :)
  • Drinking hot tea on our front porch after dinner, admiring our amazing view...an open area of green grass & crooked trees.  (The kids don't see what Wes & I find so amazing about it:)
  • The girls laughing every time Susan calls me "mommy"
  • Watching the cows get dipped
  • Ashley coming up with a bunch of great ideas for revitalizing the primary school playground. (Right now it is pretty unsafe, but that is one of the projects the Hunter St team will be working on week after next)
  • Long walks with the kids
  • Calling home & running out of minutes...again...
  • Homemade bread
  • Watching a baby cow be born on mother's day!
  • Long talks with Susan about the differences between America & Uganda
  • Language & cultural barriers galore!  Making for some pretty funny situations!
  • Praying with the blind man we keep running into
  • Walking to our friend's house to find Wyatt on the porch surrounded by Ugandan children playing UNO
  • Preparing for Wyatt's surprise birthday party feast with all of the mzungus on the ranch!
  • So many friends coming down with malaria...Carlos, Caleb, the clinic nurse Florence, and many Ugandan children.

Thank you all for your prayers!  Please keep them coming.  We love &
miss you all!!

  1. My son Michael Mirai was born with a rare type of epilepsy called Dravet syndrome, also known as Severe Myoclonic Epilepsy of Infancy (SMEI). This is a rare and catastrophic form of intractable epilepsy that begins in infancy. Individuals with SMEI suffer from intellectual disabilities as well as severe behavioral and development delays. All effort made to be sure he did not live his life miserably with deadly disease proof abortive. I have carried him to different Doctors, use different prescription drug all to no avail.

  3. My name is Galecki and I had a history of uncontrolled tonic clonic seizures for 20 years. I've tried many anticonvulsants and had never been able to stop the seizures. Surgery was not an option. My seizures worsened as I aged. Finally, i met a Doctor on the internet called Lawson . I ordered for the Herbal medication and used the medication for 6 months, after which I went for medical test, which has been confirmed cured completely . It worked! I've been seizure free for 12 months while slowly reducing my meds. contact him on via email dr.lawson52@gmail.com or call +1(409) 237-2545

  4. NATURAL & EFFECTIVE TREATMENT TO SEIZURE: Our son has temporal lobe epilepsy, He has seizure and had a grand mal with rage episode (8 men to hold him down), Our son's seizure is constant throughout the day according to EEG results. We had used several medicine which include: 600 Epilem 100 topolex 150 Epitec X2 Daily Dopoquel and cilift, Keppra, Topomax lasted for about 3 days, but I put an end to that due to my son losing weight and being lethargic.

  5. DR WILLIAMS HERBAL CURE TO EPILEPSY
    I was always praying to have a testimony when ever i saw people sharing their own testimonies which really took me years but today i am the happiest MOTHER on earth.
    My son suffered EPILEPSY, for 20years after taken different kind of western medication without been cured.
    All these years my son was like a death person but today he is been cured.and you do not know how i feel having my son back to life because it was not really easy for me having just two children and one been abnormal.
    I took time to search internet which i found a lot of people thanking Dr. WILLIAM concerning the same problem and i discussed it with my husband and he said we should give a try so we order his product which my son took for some months and he is very much okay now.
    I will advise you stop wasting time on all these western medicine because they only work for some
    days and the problem bounce back again.
    Contact Dr. at drwilliams098765@gmail.com for advice and for his product and be the next to give testimony
