No comments about the lack of posting - electricity has been terrible the past few days. Here's a recap of Sat, Sun and today...
Saturday: don't really remember what we did - think we just relaxed and caught up on some much needed rest. Jill had a girl's night out with all the missionary women from around Mbarara - they do it about once a month and she really enjoys it.
Sunday: it was our first Sunday back at UBC in a couple of weeks. Kind of nice to just be sitting in a service and listening (and I always enjoy Pastor Enoch's sermons). Had a great meeting Sunday afternoon and then had a neat fellowship Sunday night at the Ward's. Grilled a goat that had been donated - John is a master on a flat grill. I think that will be my next project over here at our house - a new BBQ pit.
Monday: had a really refreshing meeting with Mike (our interim team leader). He has been on the road quite a bit and we are about to be gone for a week, so it was nice to catch up. I am truly blessed to work alongside the men on this team!
This week is pretty busy - tomorrow I will try to plan for a talk I have to do on Friday night. Wednesday we deliver 5 cows to the village as part of the Heifer Project. Thursday I will be helping Jill get the house ready for Friday. And...on Friday we have invited a LOT of people to the house for Thanksgiving. We are going to have a huge celebration. Jill has already had the kids making decorations and planning games to play. This was always a big holiday for us back home with both sides of the family, so it's nice to try and recreate it over here just a bit.
On Sunday, we head to Kampala for a much needed break, not to mention dentist visit for me. We need to have some work done on the car (just routine maintenance issues when you are driving on these kinds of roads) and have found a place very close to a "mall" so we can get our Christmas shopping done at the same time. It will be nice to get away from the cows for a little while and just enjoy time together as a family. Well....off to bed.
