Sunday: Craig teaching
From what i can see the blog site is growing slowly so thought I would add some things sent to me via email:
From Rick: SaturdayThe team ended the day at 4:30. I met a little boy at john's church this afternoon who walked with his hands (polio). He wanted a football (soccer). I will send his picture.
Mission link also works with a leper colony. They grow corn (three acre field in photo) to help feed them. Thanks mostly to the USA subsidizing and promoting Ethanol (made with corn), corn prices have skyrocketed around the world. One of the chief struggles in Uganda is feeding families. Those who grow their own corn on small plots can grow their own corn. Those who live in urban areas are not as well off. Dave
I am concerned that due of the price elevation and hunger, that we are going to be flooded with widows as the word gets out.) We will have to package it as well. We also had to purchase rice, beans, corn and bread to feed the widows for 4 days. This means purchasing plates and cups. Delivery made this evening to Jinja hill as the church will help package corn flour in 4 kilo bags and to begin to prepare for the lunches (most Americans do not know what a production it is to prepare food ...even to the point of having to pick out stones so teeth are not broken. Rick
Sunday "Funny" report from Rick: Craig is teaching out of Jer 1; this morning I had arrived 15 min. Before We were to leave to find out nassar (Nassar is the bus driver who usually takes good care of us) had left. I sitting in the hotel lobby drinking Coffee only to find out later they have left. I have just instructed nassar Never move (change of plans) unless you talk to me first. However all is okayI am typing on iPad with remote. This is real time so u can feel you are Here. Sorry for all the mistakes, but it is hard typing. More to come. Rick
Comment from Dave; I can get the photos on but not where I want them! Perhaps John Begy(yes another John) from USA, our computer guy will help me Monday. This is weird. blogging reports from Uganda here in the States. Forgot one comments from Kathy for Liz's folks:
Liz's knee has been doing well, so please pass that onto her parents specifically. We have been praying over it and the Lord has been keeping her strong and pain free. Everyone is settling into all of the unique things in Uganda. Matthew and Liz are very excited about everything
