Wednesday Morning

Another lovely night in Uganda. Violet and Charles needed to make a quick run to Bulumwaki so the team gathered outside for some starters (appetizers) that included chef's buttons (fried mushrooms, we think), beef samosas ( a personal favorite), and chiplati (a flatbread). They got back to the hotel around 7:30 and we had dinner after that. Good conversation and, for the most part, good food. My cheese pizza was covered in black olives, mushrooms, bacon, and some other mysterious meat. Several people had the "pan-fried" tilapia for the first time and said it was wonderful. Chuck and Tim's pepper steak was questionable - not so much in flavor, but in "chewability".

After dinner, Tim, Pat, and Chuck attempted to show us their hacky-sack skills so that we can teach the kids in the village. The consensus after the demonstration was that we'll just let the kids teach themselves! Even our waiter, Stanley, was no help!

We put together 2 assembly lines and created treat bags for the kids that we will hand out after the feast in Nakabango on Sunday. The process would have made a great You-tube video! The kids will LOVE the dum-dum suckers, bracelets, cross necklaces, and super balls or hacky-sack balls!

It's back to Nakabango for a long day today! Our plans are to meet with the sponsored kids, let the kids paint and draw, build 20 benches, hand out soccer equipment, and, in the evening, we will show the "Jesus" movie that has been translated into Lugandan. We also hope to serve popcorn during the movie - a dream of Pastor Chuck's that I hope comes to fruition! It will be the first time we have been in the village after dark.

To God be the glory - great things He has done! What a privelage to serve with these wonderful people. Looking forward to all He has in store for us today!
