We are in such a beautiful place making many new friends. No one should worry for us because we are treated as special guests and they can't wait to greet us.
Friday, we traveled all day and it was quite a journey. In the city of Mbale, we drew a lot of attention. I have seen a LOT of people but only 5 of them white!
By a lot I mean 50,000 easy.
People come just to look at us and the children giggle when we talk to them. The children learn English in school so the older students understand us better and the adults do pretty well, but we need to speak slowly.
Today the men are working on pouring a floor for the new school they are building (3 rooms). Most of the ladies spent a couple of hours teaching at the existing school. Nancy taught a lesson, Cindy and I led the children in coloring pages in Sally's coloring book, Norma Jean and Anna did games, and Patsy and Mariah lead them in singing. Molly helped out in a couple of stations.
We just ate lunch and some will be going on home visits. It is sprinkling. We have had no rain which is good. Rain makes the roads very hard to travel, so pray against the rain. So far God has made every provision for us so I am sure all will go well.
Gotta go, break time is over!
Love you,
Joyce

Hi everyone!

ReplyDeleteHi gang, we all miss you and wanted to know if you are aware of the volcano that erupted in Iceland this week???? It has cause all airports to close in Europe and has disrupted many many flights around the world. You need to contact your travel provider and see about changing your return flight. Amsterdam has been closed and you may have to come home via South America.Please let us know your plans. Jeanie
