This weekend there was yet another birthday to celebrate. Trudi, a visitor from Oz, had a birthday and organised a trip to Lake Victoria for the children.
Trudi has made some connection with a couple of fishermen, and arranged for them to take the children out in their boats for a short ride. For most of them, this was their first visit to the lake and they were all very excited.
As well as the boat ride, they amused themselves on the foresore with various games and just watching those in the boat.
Ronald, the fisherman, also put on a short display of fishing with his net, and despite being in the wrong place at the wrong time of the day, managed a small catch of 4 fish, which we blessed the neighbours with.
As the rain arrived, the children retreated to the bus and returned to the village for an ice cream.Sunday Night.
On Sunday, Robert Kafeero, the director of Uganda Hopebuilders made an appearance at devotions to talk about the role of the family. He entertained the children for quite a while and engaged them in his lesson very well.
Another reason for having Robert come was that the village presented bibles to all of the children in primary 4 or older.
One or 2 already had small "Gideons" bibles, but 8 children were each presented with a nice new hardback NIV. The mothers presented the bibles, and Pastor George and his wife Jeska were on hand to pray for the children as they received them. It was a great night.
