Today was a great day, everything seemed to go our way. Our good Lord was making up for our blah day yesterday. All our workers were on site today and everyone seemed full of energy. We all go going on projects and there seemed to be a rhythm in our efforts. Great team work and this morning's work laid out the rest of the day.
Just as we were cruzing along we discovered we were out of water. Our only water source is 1 mile away down the hill to the lake. As there was this animated discussion (all in Lugandan) I figured out what the problem was. Henry, the sand and rock truck driver, was suppose to be here with more supplies and he was going to be our transport for our water jugs. The workers were not stalled, they took the 12 jerry cans tied them to the back of two motorcycles and headed down to get water. Way to go guys!!!
Just as the motorcycles returned with water, Henry arrived with our cement bags and the re-bar we needed, but also to our joy the truck was packed full of the timbers we will use for the roof. You can imagine how excited we were to see that lumber; this means we will start the roof structure before we leave.
As we have done for the last several days we and the workers loaded up in the van for our trip back to Mityana. Harry (Prince Harry) has become our front seat occupant and waves and yells out to all the kids as we are driving. The kids love running toward us yelling hi or bye mzungu (white person) so Harry makes a big deal of it and the kids get so excited. Dennis, I and the workers all get a huge laugh every day as he bring a little joy to each of the little lives.
Dennis is still seeing patients, but unfortunately many are infants and we are completely out of medicine for infants. He is still able to help the older children and adults to some extent
We are all growing very tired of the food. It is better than last year, but it is just the same every day and it is not something that we would normally eat. The only exception is the pineapple. We are devouring every one we can find, they are so good!!!
We have been thankful for the emails with encouraging thoughts for us and for the hope we are helping provide for the people in the village.
