Easter Ham

We were in Kampala this week and one of our co-workers asked if we'd pick them up an Easter Ham for Sunday dinner. Sorry--no ham available, so we brought them back a chicken. (NOT PICTURED!!--I have not played any jokes on you by hiding the chicken somewhere in one of the pictures. I didn't think a chicken was very interesting--especially the kind we bought for our friends. It was just a regular ole chicken packaged in plastic wrap from the butcher dept of the grocery store. So, glenda and amy rest easy.)

In the above picture you get a glimpse of our David Family "Easter Ham". It is sitting quite contentedly with little thought for it's future--just as well--it's future will bring tasty contendedness for our kids tomorrow!!!

It's been quite wet lately. Makes everything green for the celebration of the resurrection of Jesus!!! It's beautiful here. So much rain recently that we are able to provide plenty of jobs for the kids who want to work!!! Today, some are cutting grass, others raking, some weeding, others helping inside the house with dish washing or mopping (a necessity when the dog tracks in mud from the rain!!!)

Toby, Acacia and Kevin visited the goat while sitting on the dog house. The dog house is left over from "bambino" our David Family dog that moved to live at Musana Camps earlier this year.

Annet is the David Family cook today. She had just finished serving porridge to all her brothers and sisters and was preparing to get lunch ready.

She is one of Acacia's best friends. We will certainly miss her while we're in the States!! She is in her P7 year this year--the last class of primary which culminates in a two-day government exam determining whether or not the student can continue on to secondary level.

Only seven weeks remain of our time here before we head off on furlough. There is much to do and we are glad to have had a few days in Kampala this week to rest. We are now in the final push, readying Geoff's staff to take over his responsibilities and, on a MUCH smaller scale (!), Mary is in the process of handing over the bread baking business oversight to Aunt Lucy, our David Family mother and wife of Uncle Mulu (our David Family father.)
