Our days have been very full- we leave the apartment between 7 and 7:30 AM. We work hard all day and arrive back at the apartment between 6 and 6:30 PM. We are exhausted when we get back, but we are also hungry so supper has to be made (for those who know me well, no we did not have popcorn for supper today- even though it’s Thursday).
Greg has been busy assessing the needs at Watoto Central. The picture that is posted is the view from the rooftop of the building looking….some direction! No one really speaks in terms of directions here so we don’t ever know what direction we are going. There are also very few street signs and places really don’t have addresses. We were reading on the bulletin board at church regarding where the cells (small groups) meet. One cell was located on whatever street (I don’t remember the name of the street) close to this gas station, by the MTN building. That is the kind of directions that people give each other and somehow they manage to arrive where they are supposed to be. Ugandans are very resourceful people; it is just us Mzungu (white people) that get stressed out about directions like that!
Lorenda has spent the last two days at the baby home. When we have come with building teams, we have spent a few hours at one of the baby homes, cuddling and sometimes feeding babies. However, spending the whole day there working is hard work! Of course the cuddle time and the beautiful big smiles makes all the hard work seem not so hard.
Praise the Lord that our bodies have got the time change figured out. We had a great sleep last night (finally!) and hopefully that will continue.
Thanks for your prayers and your encouragement- we appreciate it very much.
You crazy Mzungu and your need for directions- how silly! And no wonder you're never around when we try to FaceTime with you- sounds like you've been very busy! As I was sitting at a traffic light on my way to Costco, in my clearly defined lane, looking at the street lights, and the people (well, most of them) so graciously signalling their intended direction, I thought of you guys, and what your new 'order' might look like... Or what Cam's will look like when they get to India on Sunday... Love you guys- look forward to your next post!
