Today we visited the Lugazi Branch for the first time.  I was sitting in the back holding a little four year old that fell asleep.  Sister Jonson is teaching the six other children.  The two older girls are YW age but the older one doesn't speak english very well so they have her and the 13 year old go to primary.  They seemed happy with that.  Just after we got started four neighbor boys were peeking in the window so we invited them in to hear about prayer, make animals from play dough and color.  None of them spoke english but the older girls could talk to them in their language so it worked out.

Rand had the camera Sat at the Kabowa PEF fireside.  We had a good turnout and ran it similar to the Jinja fireside where we mentored present PEF students and introduced perspective PEF students.

This was one of our guest speakers who talked about setting up her business after finishing her education.  She is  a good example of making good with her education.  Getting a job in Uganda is very difficult.  Most of our students are like her, succeeding because they have their own business to sell a product or service.

Having experienced loss of vision in the form of things being blurry the mission doctor  arranged for me to see Dr. Georgina.  The doctor is in the middle and her assistant opposite me.  This optometrist had the equipment to dilate the eye and determine if you had cataracts or retina issues. (at least I hope her diagnosis was correct)   Turns out my left eye is having all the issues but no cataract or detached retina was detected.  I have a very large floater that blurs my vision from the left eye.  Right now my right eye can usually compensate so that I can see most things.
 It has been getting harder to read small print but the doctor says not to worry about it.
 At home maybe more can be done to fix the problem.  Dad had a good doctor and Kara has contacts that can help.

This biker could be seen for blocks as he peddled down the road with this huge load of baskets.  The picture doesn't quite depict the grander of the visual because I didn't get the camera out till we were past him.

Last Sunday afternoon I took some oils over to the hospital where our friend, Mary's daughter was laboring to deliver her baby.  I rubbed her feet for a while then left hoping that she wouldn't have to go much longer.  The baby was born three hours later.  Monday morning we took some warm water over for Eve and her new baby daughter Eva to take a spit bath.  Later in the day we took the whole family home (Eve's mother Mary, sister and midwife stayed the whole night to take care of the new mother)  Hospitals do not provide patient care.  The family camps out on the floor next to the patient.  You must bring your own bedding,  pots for cooking food and pots for washing clothes etc.

Jullian is Eve's twin sister.  Sun. afternoon she rubbed her sister's back telling me she was never going to have a baby.  Her tune changed once the baby got here.  She could't have looked more proud to hold her new niece.

Mary is the proud Grandmother.  

Eve is the Mother who I helped to the truck

Our fingers were the same color.

Once we got her home she opened her eyes.   Such a darling baby.
