Back to work

After a beautiful couple days in the mountains near Mbale we are back to work. For 30,000 shillings - about $20, we had a small cabin with a mattress with the indentation already in place where we could lay and a pillow that helped us sit up while we slept. We also had our own latrine - pit toilet and a hot / cold running shower depending on if they had lit a fire under the pot holding the water before it was pumped to the shower. There are 3 water falls that we hiked to Sipi Falls is the largest at 100 meters and then another we could walk behind and the third we could get near so we were sprayed and wet. It is beautiful but very muddy and sometimes the hiking made me, Barb, very nervous. Our second hike was from nowhere to nowhere but the end result was beautiful.

Today we are back at the knitting which is going well. The blind people have invited John and me to play a game of goal ball with them. I think this is like dodgeball but they will blindfold us and then use a ball with a bell inside. Sounds rather painful so we will see if this actually happens.

John has been asked by Els at Amacet to teach a couple Bible lessons at Harmony school as an example to the teachers of how to engage the students more in the lesson. He can explain this better so I will leave it to him ot give more information on that. He will start this tomorrow, Thursday. Your prayers will be helpful since the teachers at Harmony are somewhat resentful of being told how to do this although their method is not successful.

As always thanks for your prayers and messages.
