We are approaching day four on our Uganda experience. The day got off to an unsteady start due to a few team members feeling a bit ill (Matthew Girvan and Katie Smyth) but both are feeling much better.
Morning prayers were great this morning, Dave’s talk on The Lost Sheep was rivetting and the worship was exhilarating. Hearing well known worship songs sung in Ugandan style is immense.
After completing final preparation with the ugandan team, we were off to begin work at our first school. The kids were slightly scared of us as they are not used to seeing white people. Main deck went well with songs and dramas and lots of entertainment.
After main deck we all split into our separate age groups. All of us had loads of fun playing with the kids, interacting with them and doing crafts with them. By the end they were all saying their goodbyes, giving high fives, hugs and handshakes. it was hard leaving them but it has been a productive day.
We are all now chilling at the camp hoping to get a good nights sleep for another productive day at our next school tomorrow. Thank you for your love, comments and prayers on previous blogs, please continue, as we read them out each morning, and it really picks everyone up.
God Bless
