This morning we slept late and then enjoyed visiting over breakfast. The airlines said the luggage should come in on the flight tonight but said we should come in the morning to get the luggage.
After breakfast the men slept the rest of the day. We ladies visited and had the buffet lunch which consisted of many choices: sweet potatoes, irish potatoes, green beans, two kinds of rice, 3 kinds of meat, salad, matooke, chapatti, g-nut (peanuts) sauce (gravy) and some other things. Beverly and Marie enjoyed trying new foods. We went to the little supermarket across the street and checked out the exchange rate at the Barclay’s Bank next door. Then we read, visited and napped the afternoon away. When the men woke up about 3 p.m. Peter gave us the okay to exchange money at that bank so we did. The rate is $1.00 = 2004 shillings which is an excellent rate.
After taking care of the financial business, we were ready for supper. This hotel doesn’t have fish and Kemper really wanted fish, so Peter drove us to a lake side restaurant that I had been to a couple of summers ago. The only thing on the menu was whole tilapia fish and French fries, nothing else. So we went to the Golf View Restaurant, where the team had stayed a couple of summers ago. Finally we got to eat fish fillet and chips (fried fish and French fries). We sat outside on the green lawn under large shade trees and enjoyed the cool evening breeze. It really got cool! Sure beats Texas heat!!
We were back at the hotel and ready for bed by 9 p.m. Beverly and I visited for a while longer and now I’m journaling while everyone else is asleep.
Thank you, Lord that everyone is here safely and for allowing me the opportunity to be part of your Kingdom work in Uganda. I love you Lord.
