Day 5 - Uganda from Melissa's perspective

What a couple busy days this has been! Yesterday, Pastor Ian, Bob, and John began their pastoral training, which made both the team and the Ugandans very happy. The rest of the team headed over to Sonrise Baby Home to help at Damali's orphanage. The men on our team that had previously worked at Gospel Messenger Church came over to the orphange to do some construction in order to make room for more babies, and of course Bethany, Denise, and I had spend time with the babies. I am probably safe to say that African babies are the happiest and the cutest. My favourite one, Stevie, never cries. What a joy! All of the people at the orphange are just a joy to be around. After a long day of work, we headed to a Ugandan resort, just across the Nile, and enjoyed a couple of hours of relaxtion. The girls decided to enjoy to sunshine, and the guys decided to play some games in the water. Who knew a bunch of old men could have so much fun with a football!! It was a great end to a relaxing day.

Today, we headed into town to get all the supplies for family kits. We rented a truck and rode around on it the whole day, and apparently for us Canadians, it is very amusing, to Ugandans, its just a part of a normal day. We finished picking up all the supplies, and dropped them off at Damali's auntie's house, for safe keeping until tomorrow afternoon when we start delivering them. We are all very excited for the breakfast feeding tomorrow, and a chance to hear some of the stories of people in the villages when delivering family kits tomorrow.
