A day of rest before the journey home..

 A low key day today, to reflect, relax and prepare for the long trip home.

We began together with a great breakfast, then spent the morning debriefing, sharing, swapping stories and praying together.... We're still so full of impressions and it will take time to give them all a place.  We're all convinced that God has revealed Himself through the people and the culture here, and challenged us in many ways... and sharing with each other what that might look like is both vulnerable and encouraging!

For the rest of the day, it was food, walking up to the main road and finding a Ugandan 'salon' where Jordan and Riley got a 'fade' done... and our group were the local 'spectacle' ....  Then a swim when we got back... finishing the evening with a lovely dinner.

It turns out that our bus is not easily repairable, and 3 guys came today and removed the whole engine, in the car park, by hand!!!!  Luckily, Robert, one of our local staff has arranged another bus for us to the airport tomorrow!!

Thanks for following our journey!! Some of us will be back again, and all of us will be encouraging more people to be a part of the work here.....

Andrew.

Thanks so much team for the wonderful updates and for sharing the journey with us - it is my prayer that the words at the gate of the Village of Hope will ring true for each of you - “May all who enter be blessed, and may all who leave be a blessing.”

Praying for safe travels home. 🙏
