Saturday 10th & Sunday 11th November 2007

Saturday started without drums, Fred is having exams for school so he is not having lessons while he prepares for his exams.  Instead I headed with Henry to finalise the rental of a house for the Roberts, with the landlord.  This went well, and we arranged for a local pastor to stay in the house until they arrive in January.  After this we were going to go to a local cafe in town for lunch for Erica’s birthday today, but when we arrived there it was packed out.  So we headed back up to a restaurant up near our house and had lunch there, very nice food. 

In the afternoon Kathryn and I went to Akanyijuka to run Saturday Sunday School as Phil is away.  This went relatively well I believe.  It just reinforced to me that the matrons we have are really good quality as they helped me out a lot because of the language barrier. The children were really responsive to the program we had and there were a few more children from the local community that came also.  It is great to see that the new children have really fitted in, I think the current children have grown a lot since they have been there and really made the transition for the new children really easy.  In the past we have put off getting new children to give the current ones time to settle, but the only reason we need to go slow this time is that there are only 8 spots left.

We quickly popped into practice after this before heading with the rest of the team to Pastor Edward and Peace’s place to have dinner, welcoming Quinton’s parents to Kabale.  This was a really good time, the relationships that we have made are starting to grow more and more.  With Henry also coming along we all had a really good time.  The power was on all day today, so some people not too far away thought it was worth celebrating until 4:30 am on Sunday morning!

Sunday was at Jackson’s church again and then Henry came up in the afternoon to talk about various building related things with Paul, Quinton’s father.
