another week

Greetings, we have had a week of settling back into routines which has been good. Marilyn and Reny have been sorting out the children who are in need of help this term ( at least those whom they are able to focus on) and I have been working in my 'playground' of the containers. The children have settled back to school well with many involved in the preparations for the visit to NACMU of the Kabaka (the King of Buganda) this coming Friday. This is quite an honour to have a royal visit so there are many preparations for it.
Marilyn & I are leaving tomorrow for three nights in Jinja, we are very tired after the holidays so need a little R & R. Aunty Carolyn is taking charge of the boys for the first time and they have promised to be on their best behaviour, we shall see!!
This week we have once again had difficulty with the power. The power company turns the switch to cut power for lengthy periods of time. We were without full power for almost two days in a row. Our generator here can provide power for lighting but not for wall sockets so we lost some of the things in our fridge. Fortunately the power returned today before the freezer became a problem. Hopefully, we can have toast tomorrow!
Today in church we had three items from the children. Firstly some of the girls performed to the tune of Agnus Dei (this is a favourite piece of music they like performing to), then Jeremy and his 'group' presented a skit and a song (which he had made up). Finally some of the musicians (Joshua on keyboard, Cole on bass guitar, Owen, Daniel and Hope on guitar with Mirembe and Doreen singing with the others), presented 'We want to see Jesus Lifted High'. It was really great to see these children using their talents and performing in such a special way, it offers a challenge to some of us older 'children' to do likewise.
No more babies this week (thank you Lord) and we are pleased that all seem to be doing well, especially Britta. Thank you to those who are praying for us and the activities here- this organisation does run on prayer-power (not like the electricity here). Please do continue to uphold us all this week, especially the preparations for the royal visit on Friday.
That's all for now, till next time
God Bless
