Life...

And the winner is....

We are officially on holidays now. On Friday we successfully handed out reports and sent the kids off for a nice holiday (well you don't really send them far since the home is right there, but the school is just trying to be official.) I thought I would share with you the top 3 students with the highest marks (grades).

P6: Emma O, Anthony W, Naster C
P4: Brenda Nabwire, Dinah, Brenda Namakoye
P3: (results yet to come due to a family illness of the teacher)
P2: Patience, John, Abel
P1: Sandra, Shadrak (Wycliff), Sarah Kainsa
Tops: Gift, Noora, Naula Rose
Baby: Davis, Samwirri, Flavia and Esther (one of the village children)

Glenn's Birthday

We went as a family and some friends out for Glenn's 26th Birthday. Whole fried tilapia and chips, yum. Then we came back home for chocolate cake and gifts. Overall it was a great night.

Want a Snack?
I wrote about the white ants last week or so, but here are some photos of what I was talking about. The kids cover the holes with plastic bags and then shout at the ground to try to lure the ants out.

Dell the Cat

This is the newest addition to the family. Mama came home with it a few months ago when it was in the village. To kill anything they sprayed bug spray on it over a course of 3 days. Then, having mercy on the dirty kitten, I gave Dell a bath and we have been friends ever since. Really this is not just a normal cat, but rather an attack cat. It strategically hides behind the plants in the courtyard and as you pass by it wait for the opportune time to jump out and pounce on your foot with serious teeth out. Ha. It is cute but dangerous. But Dell brings me happiness and lots of laughs with his funny activity. I found him in my empty flower pot today.

Henna

So, there are quite a few Indian (from India) here in Mbale, but surprisingly I don't often see them with Henna. I was eager to try it when I had the opportunity. The lady, about my age, was really creative with each of our designs and very precise, seeing as she did this all free-hand. It only lasted a week, so I don't know if I will get it again, but it was cool when I had it.

Well on the way...

The new wing of the school is in the process of being built. They have layed the foundation of the whole building and will hopefully began pouring the slab and building the walls during holidays. I went out to take a picture, intending to write something about how Jesus is the cornerstone, but the builders moved quicker than expected (from the time I left the day before to the next morning when I had brought my camera). But I did find this amusing.

I love these kids. They are my joy and delight and I praise the Lord every day for the way He shows me His love through them. My life will never be the same!!
