Up early today... We wanted to go to Abundant Life church again, but if we were to do that, we needed to go to the 8am service so that we would have time to pack and clean Suubi house before leaving at 1pm.
We enjoyed the worship and loud music and mics, until the power dropped out .... phew... Then they had to use their voices and, in our opinion anyway. that sounded so much better, they have beautiful voices when they aren't competing with loud music and drums....
After the worship, Andrew preached on Deuteronomy 30, reminding us to remember all God has done, and to choose 'life' by following Him, and not forgetting Him and His goodness to us in our own 'promised' lands. Before we left, the church wanted to gather around us and pray for us, which was really special!
Heading back to Suubi, we finished packing, cleaning, ate some lovely fresh pancakes made by Juliet, and said goodbye to the community kids around Suubi. The bus arrived a little after 1 and off we went, watching the landscape as we drove off. We were making great time to our hotel in Mukono district.. until about 2/3's into the trip the engine started making some loud and strange sounds!!! We stopped while our driver, Robert & William tried to figure out what was wrong... meanwhile the team saw a lonely Chapatti stand right there and cleaned to young guy out of all his chapattis!! The issue with the engine remained a mystery, so we limped at 30kph, all the way to our hotel..late... but we made it...!
After getting our rooms, getting settled, we enjoyed a dinner of various dishes (all that were way too much for us!!). For some reason, the pool at night beckoned to some of the team, so much that the temperature didn't really factor.... so a night swim was enjoyed, as our Ugandan driver and team looked on confused!!!
Tomorrow we will spend some time debriefing together and relaxing, as we prepare to head home on Tuesday....
Andrew..
