This was a song that we sang at church. It is actually Swahili - and not Luganda that is spoken around Kampala. It's our prayer that we do manage to live out this song this week - despite the frustrations of life! There seem to have been plenty to frustrate us this week. The internet has been particularly bad, and of course as IT manager - it comes to haunt Laurie. It hasn't been a problem at MAF end but further up the chain - but nonetheless it has been rather a burden for Laurie this week.
Another frustration is our car (still in Kenya). It is meant to be coming back from Kenya soon - hopefully today. I'm having a hard time trusting into the hands of people we don't know at all! We pray that the roads have been clear and that the driver (and car) have been safe.
Yesterday I went to see a performance to celebrate 10 years of a project here in Kampala called Tigers Club that works with street children. They had some wonderful dancers as part of the performance. I'm attaching a video of them. It's really quite impressive! You'd never realise that bottoms could wiggle that fast!
Also, yesterday a kwangela (Ugandan Introduction Ceremony) happened next door to us. This is like an elaborate engagement party of sorts. We watched as a big truck holding lots of chairs and sound system went up the drive! From experience we knew that we could be in for a loud night. As part of the celebration the families give each other gifts. A cow (one of the presents) was parked outside our house for a time before he was offered (still alive) to the family. We were very grateful that the party ended by 10pm!
