June 4, 2008

Is it June already?!  Only a few weeks now and we will be bombarded by a team of Aussies from our home church.  Also if it’s June already then it is less than one month until Akanyijuka is one year old!  Where does the time go.  Some times we look back and it just seems like time disappears on us; for this reason let us no longer think about what good things we want to do or could do.  Just determine in our hearts to do it and make it happen in fear of growing old and being full of regrets.

Enough deep talking there Dave, today Kathryn went to school, but I also was a teacher.  Damon(aka Luke) is staying with us as Graeme and Lisa had to rush to Kampala for an always unwlecome visit with immigration.  Somewhere in the latest saga there was comment that Graeme and Lisa’s passports were lost in immigration, which is not really a big surprise.  It would be possible, if you were sneaky enough, to talk with one of the officials and just grab any number of passports from their table. Let’s pray that it is nothing so serious and it is just the usual mishandling of everything that happens with the Government here. 

Some of the furniture for the new matron arrived today as I was taking down a desk and a computer to set up at Akanyijuka.  Peace, pastor Edward’s wife, is going to start to handle some of the admin work and will use the computer down there.  We are starting to set things in order so that the locals can run things by themselves.  It is not that people here can’t look after it, no worries about everything collapsing, it’s just we had been doing a lot of things, and now are looking at handing them over.  Supervising Luke was a good chance to catch up on a little of the admin work and to fine tune a few things to get ready to hand them over to Peace.

We were not really sure what sort of food Luke likes, so for the sake of playing it safe we decided it was best that we went out for dinner.  Looks like Graeme and Lisa will be back late tomorrow night, if all goes well.
