A NEW HOME 

The past three days have flown by ... very busy here this week. Spent Wednesday in Entebbe and Kampala running errands with Patrick and Eva Walusimbi, including getting a USB modem for my computer at the Orange store. Yesterday and today I "interviewed" with three school principals to see where I might be most useful to them and visited several classes. Their teacher workdays are from 7:00 am to 5:00 pm. This evening Eva and I and grandchildren Gracious (4) and Fortunate (almost 3) walked to a Crusade (singing and preaching outdoor service) in the Mizigo village area of Mityana.

Anne Curtis Davidson So do they have Orange stores instead of Apple stores?!?

Marilyn Vlahos Anne, they mix apples and oranges: you can get Apple stuff at the Orange stores.

Update 10/06/2012

Life here is always busy and involving.  Schools and churches are centers of activity seven days a week, and something interesting is always happening. In addition to Sunday School and Church from 10-1 at Golgotha Missions Church across the street from home in Mizigo, my weekend activities have included the Rejoice Concert 2012 at a church on the far side of Mityana, filmed by one of the Kampala TV stations; visiting with older girls from the dormitory next door, including boarding students and orphans; a family birthday party for three one-year-old boy cousins; a teacher workshop; and household cleaning and laundry. 

I have now met with all five principals and have a basic schedule, subject to occasional delays and changes due to a variety of factors, including midterm exams, roads impassible due to rain, and family funerals (two since I have been here).
