Adjusting

Saturday was a day of adjustments and organization. All of our internal sleep clocks were somewhere between the west coast and Uganda. Wide awake at 2:30am seemed to the be normal with total exhaustion at dinner time. Our first morning brought a new experience for Miles and Caleb as the Muslim call to prayer echoed through our windows at 5:30am. Since we were all lying in bed wide awake we decided to get up. The ladies spent most of the day organizing our 39 suitcases into sponsored child gifts, sports festival items, and school supplies. The boys attended the Fountain of Hope High School parent's meeting and encouraged the parents to continue to be active in the school's operations and their children's education as well as following God in their daily life. After the meeting, the boys then headed into Jinja to purchase paint and supplies to prepare to put the final touches on the FOH kitchen. After spending 538,000 shillings we had what we needed (that's about $220 dollars :) )

As my computer battery is about to die I'll keep this short but look forward to updating you all tomorrow after we complete our first Sunday today. Miles is preparing to preach to one of the bush churches and then we'll be heading to the Nile River for baptisms. Blessings to all of you. We're all doing well and talk to you tomorrow, John
