Uganda Team 25 - Day 7

Day 7....

After a hard day of work yesterday, the beginning of the day was a little slower, but we soon woke to the sweet smell of Juliet’s morning pancakes.  Pancakes with syrup or with banana, or with peanut butter, or…. If you’re game like Piper is, all three! Breaky finished off with fresh pineapple, we were blessed by a devotion by Liesje on the character of our God and how we are to imitate who He is wherever we are. Humble, loving, creative and kind, we have an amazing example to follow.

Then it was back into the work clothes and up to the Village of Hope to get a bit more house rendering done. Being a Saturday, the kids were not at school, so we had no lack of helpers for the work but also helpers to sing the songs we were singing.

Our amazing Hillie and Liesje were master mixers of mud for us to apply and got worn out making mixes. Time for some young Village boys to take over and help and for our ladies to take a break.

Of course, the idea is to get the mud on the house and not on ourselves, but that seems like and exercise in futility, and as usual we had mud all over us. Conveniently forgetting there is cow poo in the mud we chose to believe it was good for our skin..

We managed to render 2 houses by the time Andrew rounded us up to head home for showers. We were off to java house for lunch and were pretty keen. The food Juliet cooks here at Suubi is amazing, but a change of scenery was appreciated.

We feasted on wraps, burgers, salads and milkshakes and finally dragged ourselves away to head into town and do some souvenir shopping.  
Everyone decided to check out th markets and of course try a boda boda ride!!
A couple of hours in town and we were worn out and ready to climb into the bus to go home..

Finally at home, out came all the amazing deals and purchases to show off to everyone. There were some great buys and some beautiful items, not least Josh’s $1.50 thongs – Havaianas they are not!!!   All in all, a good day..

Tomorrow we off to experience church, Uganda style.. You’ll hear more tomorrow..

Check out the pics of the workers and the crazy muzungus in town...
