WEDNESDAY, 8/28/13, God Cares Camp, Kampala, Ugand

     Tuesday nite I got to use the Team cell phone for a 2-3 minute call to my fiance, Linda, In texas.  Fun,,, & so good to hear her voice!!  Last year my International Phone turned out to be wayt too expensive,..so this Ugand MNTN cell phone is a much better option,-even for Internatinal calling.  It works out to a little over $1/minute, which is MUCH cheaper that that International phone was last year-:).  Even 3 minutes or so of hearing from a loved one is sweet!

     Served b/fast, did Praise/Worship, then today's Bible lesson on Fruits of the Spirit.


     Next came prepping for the clothes distribution, jewelry distribution, & shoe distribution. Things were divided into two rooms by size & genbder.  One smaller for the boys, while a larger room for the girls.  The distribution took over 2 hours.  Ladies work with girls, and guys with guys, & I distribute jewelry.  Thanks certainlty go to Kerusso, INc., Ark, USA, & GTLuscombe, Inc. Chicago, IL, & various individual donors for their WONDERFUL donations!!  Approx 620- kids were brought a great deal of joy, thank yous, & smiles.  As I always say,...'helping Uganda's children,....one at a time!"

 After the distributions we served them rice, poshu(a local mix of flower & water), & meat.  The sunb shone bright & bHOT while we served kids, teachers, & leaders,-all outside.  Had barely enough today to serve them all....

    As planned, at 3pm our Team went to our hotel for some much needed R&R!!  At 5pm, our bus took us downtown for a dinner "out".  We returned to hotel Stallion by 9pm.  All of us were ready to sleep.  We will now be ready to serve the final two full days of Camp,....

     At the downtown restaurant in Kampal, I couldn't help but remember eatingv there with the Buyamba California group last year.  On a whim I decided to try to fdind Wifi on my cell while at the restaurant.  Yes, I told the Team,..there IS Wifi.  The joke was on me,..as my phone was the ONLTY one that could not connecxt to their Wifi-:(-:(
