"When you see banana plants you see a home"




Someone commented to me this week that our house is looking like a home. He said that in Uganda when you see banana plants you know there is a home there and he thanked us for making our home here. In the picture, some of our many banana plants are in the background.

We continue to do a little this and a little that on the house. This morning Toby put the varnish on our curtain rod holders while Kevin and Acacia decided to slash some of the weeds in our compound. Acacia has a panga (machete) for her tool and Kevin has a very sharp blade called a slasher.





Geoff fixed some more plumbing leaks last night and is now putting shelves in our storage shed. I will spend a bit of time with the David Family girls this a.m. helping them further fine tune their bread making skills. We also have an all day prayer meeting to culminate a week of focused prayer on bringing God's Kingdom to our families, the church, ministry, our community, district and beyond.

There is a team here from North Dakota and they will be doing VBS during the afternoons this week. The kids are very excited!!!!!!


In these next pictures, Kevin, Acacia, Judah, Sharon and Biru are building sand castles. Next to them is Kiweewa clearing some of the weeds/bush that surround our compound.



Nothing else to report for now . . .
