The Sabbath Rest...??!


We had an early start today. Church begins at 10:30, so in order to ensure that we were all showered and ready on time for an 8:00 breakfast, alarms were set for six. It was yet another late night last night due to torrential rain and frequent bolts of lightning which lit up the whole room! The rain was so loud it sounded as if we were next to the sea or a huge river. I was convinced we were going to flood! Church was not as lively as we expected, but the songs being sung in Ugandan were very cool! They even sang How Great is Our God! The service took a long time, partly because there was interpreter translating everything sentence by sentence! We have now just had a team meeting and were extremely unnerved by the large array of bugs feasting on us! Next is Youth Group at four where about 40 young people from aged 12-20 pile into Steve's and Kathryn's house! We are planning water bombs, relays,making origami frogs and other messy games! Whoever said rest on the Sabbath! Tomorrow is yet another early start...gardening from seven until ten am! Should be interesting...watch this space...

Auntie Claudette says, it's great reading about your adventure so far. What an experience!! You look great in the pictures as well. I am so proud of you and praying that God will bless all of your endeavours and your willingness to serve others.

It seems that keeping to time is quite strict. Getting up early certainly seems to take on a new meeting. (I mean - 6am - for an 8 am start!!!) Well, that has taught me a thing or two!!

Love you very much and looking forward to reading more.
