What a weekend!!

Saturday 22nd September Today started out with the usual drum lesson with Fred at 9 am.  Fred is coming along ok and is improving every time even though he only gets to practice once a week on the kit.  After this we went down to play with the children at Akanyijuka, we took them all down to a local field to run around and be silly for a bit.  After this I definitely felt like I had spent all my energy and was ready to go home and do nothing else.  On the way home we drove past Edward and he hit me up for trying to get together today and talk about some things, so I told him it will have to be after 2 pm as I was due for another drum lesson at PAG Church.

So we went home and had a quick lunch and then I headed down to give Sam a lesson at PAG.  After this I met up with Edward and had a talk about this and that, we went and had a drink and caught up with a few things, which was good, but I had to cut our time short however, as I had to go home and get ready for practice this afternoon.  Tomorrow is a combined church service between Jackson’s and Edward’s churches and a “Music Gala” in the afternoon. 

When Kathryn and I arrived at practice, we were hit up by a lady who had brought two separate children for us to look at to see if we wanted to take them into Akanyijuka.  So I called Edward to come and got him to go with Quinton and see where the children lived, as we had to stay and practice and I was a bit too tired already to think straight.   As I had suspected, the practice was very long, just as well as Quinton did not get back until we had just finished packing up.  So after almost 3 hours we were heading home. 

It was late after 7 pm and since it was our turn cooking we ordered some take away from a local joint, and then went home to get a container to put it in.  Just to top off a long day when I got back to get the take away I had remembered to get some empty bottles that we said we would bring, but I had forgotten the container so had to go home again.

 Sunday 23rd September  We rocked up at 9:30 am for the start to what was a marathon of a day.  Playing morning and night back home had nothing on this – we got home close to 7 pm at night and were there all day.  I think I will have a rest from church participation next weekend, probably just go to Edward’s church and vege out in the back seats.

 At night I was reminded of a story about Agnes’ Aunty which was good to hear.  She had come to see how Ronus and Agnes were going and when she saw Agnes she broke down and cried, she could hardly believe the difference and was sad that she had allowed such a beautiful girl get to the state she was previously in.
