And I taught (with an interpreter) the pregnant women for the last time (below is a group of 60 or 70 women we worked with in a community center on the edge of the Kampala slums).
Pictured are some of my fellow workers - Christine, Barbara, and Betty
and a few of my beloved friends that I met with at Mama Carol's home.
Then, the move from Kampala to Akkrite (over dusty, pot-hole packed roads in the back of a big open truck) to John and Paula's new home - a little small (850SF) and many electrical, septic, and water problems to work out, but
a great yard (at the top of a hill with a cool breeze), where we watched 5 enormous and spectacular Great Blue Turacos fly into one of the trees. We love this quiet and peaceful place with no all-day or all-night screaming, no loud speakers blaring out, no gangs of dogs barking all night (just our own pups waking Paula up with their crying, barking, and climbing up and tapping on her window at 1:30am).
You can see the characteristic hills of Uganda if you climb up and peak through the grates of the stone wall surrounding the lot.
The Z's have had great fun burying each other with friends Jonathon and Eva in the piles of leftover construction material from years ago
and dissecting a poisonous (?) snake found in the yard to see the gheko it had swallowed whole (skip these pictures if you have a weak stomach!).
We also explored the botanical gardens nearby with its huge anthills, centuries-old trees with gigantic roots, and natural landscape. God's creation is so awesome!
I fly out tomorrow night, but I'll send one more blog shortly showing (1) Cherish (another ministry partner of eMIEA) and (2) eMIEA and Mission Aviation Fellowship's new combined office building.
