All the Beauty

Hi All

Finally we are caught up on sleep enough to write a post that may actually make sense!

We have had a wonderful first few days here in Uganda, but the weather is “very cold” today.   Of course everything is relative- it was 17 degrees this morning and is warming up nicely now.

We are staying with dear friends who have a lovely view of Lake Victoria from their balcony. Their compound is full of beautiful flowers and plants- none of which could survive the harsh reality of a Saskatchewan winter!  This country is so very beautiful- when Watoto choir sings about “Beautiful Africa”, they are not kidding!

Watoto Church is a busy place loaded with new activities everyday. We continue to run into “old friends” and have had the opportunity to make some new ones.

Greg has been very excited to see the growth in the facilities team since our previous visit. During our last trip to Uganda, he did an “everything you wanted to know about air conditioning in three weeks” bootcamp. There was a lot of information packed into a short period of time.  It is so encouraging to come back a year later and see how that knowledge is being put into action every day. The team is doing an amazing job maintaining the air conditioning and continuing to take on new challenges all the time.

We are so thankful to our Canadian supporters who have donated money, equipment and tools to be put into the hands of these very capable tradespeople.  Without your support, none of this could be taking place. You are making a lasting difference in this country.  We cannot ever thank you enough.
