"See you in September" and "surprise!" have been the phrases as of late. As many of you already know, I packed my bags and closed up shop in Uganda for a few months last week and flew to America to surprise my family a few weeks early.

The last few weeks have been busy handing things over as I prepared to leave. I can't express how hard it was to leave my family there -- my church family, other missionaries, and friends in Masese.

Over the next few months my translator and friend, Irene, will be continuing with Bible study with the women still in the Pregnancy Center using the material from Ambassador Institute. She will also be meeting regularly with the women who have recently come to faith. There are other missionaries that work in Masese as well, and one of them is hoping that a church will be planted by the locals and that we would be able to come alongside of them while they lead just to continue with discipleship, but allow them to lead without interfering.

Things in Masese have been incredible as of late. It's strange to see God working so visibly there. My friend was recently approached by two men that wanted to be taught the Bible. Last week as I was teaching Bible study, a man approached and listened for a while. He then asked if I could teach him the Bible, but I told him that I only teach women. He then asked, "Are there any men in Masese that teach the Bible?" I was blown away. I got his contact information and we got him in touch with locals in the community who are strong believers. I know I say this all the time, but friends, God is working in Masese. I will continue to hear from Irene on how things are going there.

The next few months will consist of weddings and road trips and speaking at churches. Along with Caribou coffee. I'm hoping to meet up with as many of you as possible, if even just to thank you in person for your prayer support. I will be returning in September for an indefinite amount of time. I know that I am young and single, so life can change in a heartbeat, but I am looking forward to investing in Masese longterm at the moment.
I would greatly appreciate your continued prayers!

| My sweet friend, Ruthie |
- That I would adjust well to the American culture with humility and grace
- That things would continue well in Masese and God would keep them in His hand
- That I would be able to raise financial and prayer support for my return in September
As always, to God be the glory!
