So we are now staying at Mama Aidah and pastor Morris's house and the rest of the team is on their way home. The past 3 days have been so busy!!!!!
On Tuesday we spent a good chunk of the morning waiting for our van to arrive and getting everyone's luggage on top. When we finally were dropped off and the team was gone kristyn and I were ready to go! We got Paul and took a trip to town. We visited mama Irene in the hospital and got to see her babies. They are doing so well! We also got to explore town and go to the super market and another market where Paul got a case for his new laptop. It was neat to walk around town and get to know where everything is a little bit better (even though I am semi directionally challenged. Lol.) When we were done we took a piki home!!!!! It was so much fun :-) Kristyn and I were laughing the whole time. Our poor driver probably thought we were crazy. (Thanks Paul for helping us with this!) When we got home we had lunch the. Went into Namatala and walked around for a while talking to people along the way. When we got home we were outside when we ran into some of the ichooseyou kids on their way home from school. We invited them into our room to do homework and it was so much fun! I loved getting to know the kids and what subjects they do well in and which subjects they need help in. After all of the homework was complete and correct it was time for the kids to go home. Later that evening after dinner we had an EPIC dance party in the courtyard behind the main house at mama's. It was awesome. Winnie, Flower, Paul, Haley, Scott, Kristyn, Shadia, Nicholas, Marvin, and a few others we're with us and it was a blast!
Wednesday morning Kristyn, Paul, and I went into Namatala early to help a little girl with a burn on her foot. Poor girl. It was very infected and probably hurt a lot when we were cleaning it. She probably hates us. Haha. After we were done we did a few more things in Namatala then went home for lunch. After lunch we took a nap then had homework club in our room. The kids love it and I love getting to help them and see them learning. After the homework club Glenn came and picked us up and took us to the market so that we could go shopping because we had decided to cook dinner! We got a few things then went to Chat N Chino and used the Internet for a while. When we were done we went back home and cooked a FABULOUS dinner! It was so much fun! Scott did most of the cooking and Christopher have him a few tips here and there while the rest of us watched and gave input when asked. Haha. After dinner we attempted to make homemade cookie dough and fry it haha. It was a lot of fun but didn't quite live up to our expectations. Note: sugar in Uganda isn't like sugar in America. Haha. Then we put in a movie we had bought at a market to find that it was not at all what we were expecting! It was dubbed and it was AWFUL! So Glenn and I took a trip to town again to find a movie in English! We found it and went home and all of us watched Avatar in Mama's living room. It was a lot of fun!
Today we went to Namatala to redress the burn and then we went to covenant to talk to Sarah about what the kids need as far as tutoring. When Paul got us a piki the kids thought it was hilarious! After lunch we took a couple kids to visit their mom in the hospital (thanks Glenn!) and then left them with her while we got a few things in town. The kids were so happy to see their mom! After we were done in town we went back to get the kids and we took them home. Then we had to go back to redress the burn because we didn't have any bandages that would work this morning so we had to improvise. After that we won't home, had dinner, and came to Chat N Chino for some Internet.
Busy 3 days!!! But it has been great and I'm so happy to still be here! My heart is going to break when we have to go home. Not thinking about that yet. Haha. For now I'm just thanking God for allowing me to be here. Praise Him!
