Mom & Andrew here

Mom and Andrew came on the 3rd August! I have enjoyed having them here and it’s somehow sad that they are leaving today. They got to spend a week at the school and had a good time with the teachers, pupils & students.
Our programme got changed so on Wednesday, 5th August, I took them to Jinja since Mom had never been. We went to the Source of the Nile River and had a very good guide. It was the first time they had ridden boda bodas but we got good drivers that understood. It was a relaxing day and I took them by myself without having someone assist us so I felt very accomplished.
We ended up going to Kiwangala on Friday, 7th August. That afternoon the secondary school had their semi-finals for football and netball. Andrew got to be the referee for both the semi-finals and the finals the following day. It was interesting competitions as there were a few misunderstandings. The students were very excited and enjoyed the competitions a lot and are looking forward to them next year.
On Sunday, 9th August, Andrew preached at church. Then on Monday, we helped the teachers to work on sorting the exams and filing the exams. Them on Tuesday, we spent the day at Nambirizii. We gave out sweets, met with the teachers, had lunch with Pastor Josham, and went to all of the classes. It was a good day and we know that they were blessed by having us there. On Wednesday, Andrew and Mom had a meeting with the students. We then helped to file and make corrections to the circulars, and then Andrew coached the school team against the village team in football.
On Thursday, was the secondary MDD (Music, Dance, & Drama). It was an exciting day and great to see the talent of the students. Again they enjoyed the day and were glad to have Mom and Andrew as the Guest of Honours for the day. On Friday, we helped to finish the filing before visiting the classes and giving sweets to the pupils as it was the last day of the term. We then went to the well to do our wash and it started raining some. On Saturday, we got a taxi to Masaka and it started raining heavily. We had to wait in the taxi for some time for the rain to stop so we could move to the coaster to come back to Kampala.
Yesterday, we went to church and they greeted the people. We then traveled to Mama Grace’s home to see her and the children who stay with her. We also picked up a cake for my birthday. I only have a few short hours with them left and I’m trying to enjoy every moment instead of thinking about how sad I will be to see them leave.
The children began their holiday on Friday, 14th August, and will begin third term on the 7th September. It is short holiday and we will continue to have many programs next term as the Primary 7 and Senior 4 candidates are preparing to sit for their exams soon. Please continue to pray that the rain continues so it will make having water easier at the school. In addition, the prices of food have gone up because of the drought so pray that the crops will be able to grow well and that the prices will go down soon.
Thank to everyone who sent greetings with Mom and Andrew. I was encouraged to hear from so many of you. I continue to pray that things are well with all of you and hopefully will write again soon. God’s blessing until then!
