Uganda - Village of Hope

First update from team 9 in Uganda..
After a long flight we arrived together with all our luggage and yes that is almost a miracle.
We then had a long drive back to the village as there had been plenty of rain and the traffic was chaos. 120 kms in about 4.5 hours!
We woke the next morning ready (sort of!) to go for it at the building site.
The first job to do was finish off making some trusses and then clean up the site and slab ready to work on. The requisite looking for all the tools necessary took a while too.
Working hard!! The top one has a pretty lady!! (the blogger is a bit biased!)

The ladies did an admiral job carting barrow loads of mud bricks the whole length of the it's site to make stacks ready to use. The afternoon yesterday was spent discovering Jinja, getting money out of the ATM machines and checking out the main street. The day was finished off with a dinner at 2 Friends (a local restaurant) as a team with Ron, Anne, Hank and Louise. Very nice!
The new mission house (Suubi we call it) is our lodging place, and apart from a few small bits and pieces it's shaping up to be a premier place to stay.

Stan and Ron were able to fit one of the skylites we took over which made a huge difference inside. Can't wait till the second one is in. The solar power system is beginning to work and Ron's patience with the local power providers saw power being connected and working yesterday. A fridge with cool drinks is luxury here, and we sure appreciate it!
Tomorrow the walls begin to be built up higher and it'll seem like we are really moving.
The weather is hot and steamy but we are all doing OK with enough water and rest when needed
A lovely morning sunrise today!!

We'd appreciate your ongoing prayers for our health and safety, as well as for good working conditions..
