Kampala – His Grace For The Journey

Christian and I have been sick since we got back from our get-a-way weekend so I haven’t posted the rest of the pictures. We had such a good time seeing our new friends, one of them we got to visit at his home; he, his wife and family were so gracious to us, served us tea and samosa’s (which are similar to our meat pies). Raelee went outside and immediately made friends and started instructing everyone on what she wanted them to do!

Martha, cried when we left, she wanted to go with us!

Whenever kids see my camera, they want their picture taken and then to see it!

We then went to Church where Samuel and Sibenda go. Christian was asked if he wanted to speak for 15-20 minutes and he said yes, but when we got there, they announced he was bringing the message for the morning! He was ready, and did a good job, even with an interpreter. I have tried to upload the video unsuccessfully, but I will keep trying. It was a very good day!

On Monday evening our third friend, Innocent, came to our hotel to visit us. We had cake and coffee for him and had a very good visit.

Kampala is the capital city of Uganda. Here is where we can find the most modern supermarkets and stores that more resemble what we are used to in the States. We had to go there yesterday to pay a solar company to come and look at our solar and help us to get it working correctly. This past week has been hot at night without fans working, and the few groceries I had gotten have spoiled. I have to get used to not being able to grocery shop for the week (actually, at home I shopped for the month so it is a BIG difference to get used to!) We went to a big supermarket to get somethings that don’t need refrigeration but that we can’t find close to home. Sometimes the traffic is so bad it has taken us 6 hours to get home from Kampala, and it is only about 80 miles away!
