So, day 16………. And 17!!!
Today was the Sunday sleep in…. So, breakfast was a leisurely affair as we
prepared to go to church…
We just made it to church in time for the
Bible study, which came after and hour of prayer, and is followed by at least
an hour and a half of worship, ministry items, and mini sermons. BUT, we had
this amazing preacher!! Andrew.. (I had to say it since no one else would do
the blog tonight!)
After church we ‘sloped’ (as they say here
when you go ‘down’ to anywhere) back down to Suubi house to have a bit of
lunch. Fresh rolls baked yesterday by our amazing cooks!!
From there we went up to the Village to
hang out with the kids. Some of us hung
out and did hair (girls, not Daniel!), and some of the guys played a football
(soccer to the uneducated!) match with the older boys of the village… and got beaten!
We then headed home to get ready to go out
and have a well earned dinner at All Friends, our favorite restaurant!
Back home, it was all to bed to get ready
for our last half day of building tomorrow….
So, no post last night, ran out of tome and
got tired J
We had our last rolex and chapatti breaky
this morning.. before heading off to the village to meet the builders. We are above window height now and the house
in in its final stages….
We finished at 12 to get ready for our
regular Australians vs Ugandan soccer match. We had the illusion that we may
win, BUT despite our huge effort, with Mick, Anna, and Nat our players of the
match (Chetty pulled a groin muscle… least that’s what he said!), we were
unsuccessful. It was made all the more
difficult for us as Ron Matheson and his 2 Australian visitors joined the
Ugandan team, so we would get confused and kick to white skinned people. Unfair,
we cried, but it didn’t wash! We’re also
sure that they had just a ‘few’ more on the field than us, but we fought
valiantly!!
This afternoon, we begin to pack and clean,
then it’s up to the village to have a farewell time with the kids, mothers and
builders..
An early night tonight as we will get up at
4am, ready to head to the airport and go to Kenya… Safari, here we come..
Not sure if you’ll hear from us in the next
few days, but we sure appreciate you reading about all of our different
experiences….
Please keep praying for us.. We have all been well, and suffered no
sickness and we’d love it to stay that way…. We would love you to pray for safe
travels as we fly and drive in Kenya too.
Pray to for a great time of closing our
trip together..
Check out the pics below to get an
impression of the last 2 days…

Well done team. you have done a great work here, and were well loved by all of the locals.
p.s. The photos of the football match tend to dispute your inaccurate suggestion that you were outnumbered, and it was only the goalkeeper who kept kicking it to our team.
Have a great safari and a safe trip home.
