Just a quick wee update this week, as I am running about as
much as ever trying to fit things in before I come home...
Last night I had a meal with the sponsor ‘boys’ for two of
my friends from back home. They were
very appreciative of their ‘last supper’ and we enjoyed our time together. I am so thankful for them – they always make
me laugh! Please pray for Moses and Kennedy though as they face some
challenges.
I had the opportunity on Thursday to go with one of my
Ugandan friends, Betty, to visit her family.
This was such a blessing and we have many funny stories to tell from
this day...including being asked by a complete stranger in the taxi about my
bowel movements!
I enjoyed visiting Zalika at her home this week to do some
English with her, though finding her house is always a challenge. Every time I get lost. They live next to the
swamp but every time I take a wrong turning and nearly end up in the swamp!
I continue to love my little healing hearts group. I will be sorry to say goodbye to them as we
have become close. I am so thankful for
the wonderful material that I have been using and just pray it is touching
their lives in small ways.
I continue to frequent the dentist and the clinics – I think
they may go bankrupt when I come home!
Please continue to remember Dennis in the slums. We spent some time together on
Wednesday. I am pursuing a different
organisation currently, one which Dennis feels more comfortable with, to see if
there are any openings and opportunities with them. Dennis said to me on Wednesday that he felt
in his heart that next year, 2018, was going to be a year of change. Let’s pray this comes to pass.
I had the pleasure of visiting a lovely American lady
yesterday and seeing some of the work that she is involved in. She has a small shelter for street boys in a
nearby town. She asked me to prepare a
wee lesson on Scotland for the boys, so I went all out and put my tartan leggings
on! The concept of kilts caused much
hilarity! It was such an encouraging and
refreshing visit.
Today’s activities have included; killing a cockroach using
a child’s shoe, transferring a rabbit from A to B (holding it by the ears) and
a marriage proposal from a random Boda driver...every day holds something new!
Thanks for your love, support and prayers x
