We were up early and headed out to the worksite before 8; Harry does not like to waste one minute.  As we drove through town we saw very elaborate decorations and banners for the King.  It is a larger celebration this time since he will not only stay the night in town, but he will oversee the kick off of the King’s cup soccer tournament.  The people in this region and tribe of Buganda, love their King and honor him greatly.  I believe they would like to have the King be more than just ceremonial and an advisor to the President, they would like him to rule their region.

I had received a call from Pastor James saying that he was headed to Mityana and was looking forward to meeting with us.  We were out at the clinic and he said he wanted to see it, so he drove out to us.  He arrived with his wife, Lillian and a US Navy Pediatrician , Sharon.  They were excited to see us again and really wanted to see the clinic building.  As we toured the building Dr. Sharon and Dennis had a few more patients to treat.  Sharon graciously comes to Uganda when she has leave saved up and assists Pastor James at his church; they met in San Diego when Pastor James was there visiting her church.

We continue to build on the clinic and have reached the final height of all the outside walls, except for the porch which will take a little more effort.  It is truly amazing how much we have gotten done in less than three weeks time.  Our hope is that we have the roof on before we leave at the end of next week.

We are hoping that others are inspired by our work and that we have made some connections with others to bring medical missions (and some more construction)  to this clinic.  We will be a great resource to the area and basic medical attention is so greatly needed.  Even people with basic knowledge of medicine can be valuable to the people here.

We praise God for watching over us, keeping us safe and healthy as we do His work.
