For all our friends and family in Regina and area, we have some news that may make you feel a little better. The ground was white here today, just like there. OK so we didn’t have snow up to our necks, but it did rain really hard and then hail today. Of course it melted almost instantly, but it was actually very nice- cooled things off quite well.
We are really starting to get onto this shopping on the way home from work. We pull up next to a cart (actually it is more like a large wooden wheel barrow) and buy whatever they have that we need/want. Today we bought another delicious pineapple, a papaya and some tomatoes. I already used the tomatoes to make spaghetti sauce for supper- it turned out great and tasted almost like what I make at home (minus the celery which I haven’t found here yet). Our next new adventure will be going to the market where we will be able to buy all kinds of fruits and vegetables and the cost will be even lower than at the carts, if you can imagine that!
All the new produce comes into town on Fridays so we will wait until Saturday to go to the market. Watoto has farms where they grow food to feed the children in the villages. They bring the excess into the church on Wednesdays so we are hoping to get some vegetables from there this week, as well.
They informed us today that mango season is pretty much done so the mangoes that are for sale now are the last ones. The good news is that it will be mango season again in June- if you heard a loud cheer just then, that was our kids. They are coming in June and they will be very excited for the mangoes- especially Carlen!
We’ve had another great day here in Uganda. We trust that wherever you are, you are having a blessed day as well.
