Fun day with the kids

It is 4:30 pm my time and 8:30 am yours on Tuesday. I have had a long and fun day. About 30 of the sponsored children came today so we could have Bible class and celebrate.  The kids sang and danced for hours. (Got the video for you Renee:) ). Then we walked,to Kasangati field to play netball ( basketball) and soccer.  The children all get along so well and they are so kind.  They all wanted to hold my hands as we walked.  I am learning quite a bit of Luganda but I have a ways to go.  It is a very difficult language to speak. Here are some examples:  Hi....Ki Kati (pronounced chee katee)
How are you?...Oli otya.       My name is Terra.....Erinnya. Lyange nza Terra. (Although the children call me Auntie Terra.).

Our lunch was prepared over a fire in the yard and it consisted of rice, beans, cabbage and chopped veggies.  And yes, they know that I do not eat meat because "it makes me sick."  They can't hide how strange they think this is so I act like I feel like it is a very strange shame as well.

I can't tell you how often I forget that I am the only white person in the village.  It isn't until I hear shouts of, "Muzungu!" from very young children, that I remember.

The one picture of me and the 3 children is our sponsored children Kenneth, Norah, and Amina.  It was the first day we met.  They were so shy and now they hardly leave my side!

So tired.... Couldn't fall asleep last night and only slept about an hour or two.  More later.

Love to you all!  Also, I love reading your comments.  They keep me from getting too homesick. Thank you.

Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.  Psalm 90:12
