Monday afternoon and Tuesday morning

Monday Afternoon/Tuesday

On Monday afternoon we had around 150 kids again at VBS. The lesson was about Jonah ! We did another skit (which the kids LOVE) using Tim’s van as the boat that Jonah was on. The kids get a kick out of us acting out the story. Everyday we have sung Funky Chicken/Crazy Monkey/Silly Kitty and the kids love it. We made a craft of Jonah, water and the boat. Then we always play games with the kids. Today some of the younger kids cried when we left.

Josh came over tonight and shared with us his experiences so far as a missionary. He shared what led him to become a missionary and his life in Nigeria and for the last year here in Uganda. Ask us about some very funny stories that happened in Nigeria.

We are so grateful to learn from Tim and Angie and Josh and Mandy and about all they are doing here in Uganda! They are taking great care of us and we appreciate all they do here and for the people of Soroti.

The water is as intermittent as the electricity here – and we have only cold showers – but no one has complained at all. Everyone is getting along well and we are learning a lot about eachother!



Tuesday Morning – Soccer clinic

Tuesday morning we worked on passing with the girls. We did several different drills and contest and finished with a game – which is there favorite. Our talk with them for today was about coaching and how God is the best coach, and He wants us on his team, He knows our strengths and weaknesses and wants us to live up to our potential.

While playing we would sometimes tell the girls to “grab” a ball. Tim told us after practice that grab a ball actually means steal the ball. So we will try not to use that phrase anymore.

While we were having our talk with the girls at break, Akambe talked with about 15 young guys from the school in one of the school buildings. He explained the message of salvation and he said that 11 of them said that they wanted to accept Christ into their lives. We hope he will be able to talk with them more tomorrow and also put them in touch with the pastors here is town.
