This is Wed. I will try to post the post from Monday after this one. I have had a hard time getting onto my blog site.

Today was a wonderful day with so much to share, I have started early. This day in VBS was the day the rain was to come and flood the Earth. Of course that means we need to incorporate water somehow into the activities. After quietly sitting and listening to the story and singing one more verse of Arky Arky, we moved on to crafts which consisted of putting bright colored scales on a fish and the games of chasing bubbles all over the field. It is amazing how entertaining $2 worth of bubbles can be to 20 kids. We did save the best for last. When talking to Thad Cox an Anglican missionary here that at his children's Christmas party they filled 1000 water bottles, poked a hole in the top and used them as squirt guns. We tried it with 50 and gave the kids a wonderful time of drenching each other and us too. It was great, worked lots of energy out of them and there were more smiles them could be counted. We retreated to our gathering place under a tent and then the children all on their own began to sign and dance several songs. I have them videoed and hope that I can figure how to put them on YouTube to share. They are the best. Lunch was special too because Carolyn, one of the team members, turned 25 today and we celebrated complete with cake.

The afternoon adventure only got better. Several of us went out to take a tour of the Regional Hospital. I had been to see it on my first visit and was interested to return to see the changes. We also wanted to try to see Auntie Margaret as she had a baby on Tue and we wanted to get a picture. The tour was lead by the head nurse and she had lots of interesting facts to relay and we saw lots. I was impressed with the improvements. The place was cleaner, had a new emergency department and expanded post partum care and was less congested. We could not find Margaret and were discouraged until when leaving we saw Zeblan, the driver from the Babies Home. He said he was coming to get her to take her home. Sure enough, she had been released and was waiting outside for her ride. Zeb said he would take us back to the hotel after taking Margaret and her parents and new baby home. We all 8 piled into the truck and off we went. When we arrived at Margret’s there were pictures to be taken as the last time we were here her first son was baptized and Isaac was waiting to see his little brother. Our adventure was not quite over. I had dropped my phone and it was not working, off we went to 3 different locations to find Gawd to fix my phone, 4000 shillings later, we had the phone fixed and were able to call to get the other group back to the hotel and we all lived happily ever after.

Another day in the fun land of Uganda.
