"Something About Sunday at Church and/or at Sisiyi Falls"
I think I was adopted by Joy, in clinic on Saturday, as she was with me
all day that day & in church on Sunday and n JK on the way to
Sisiyi Falls. As always, it was a relaxing Sunday afternoon and a break
for all of us. We were ready for Monday's work.

The
church'm.m service was quite animated with African Song and Dance as
well as modern calypso type music. The sermons by the church preacher
were quite animated in both Lugandan and English simultaneously. Dr.
Daniel's sermon was enlightening on the " meaning of life " according to
Solomon, with resounding applause.The hike to the top of Sisiyi Falls
pretty well kicked my _____, indicating that I need more aerobic
training. The day was blessed by fun, food, comradere, and spirituality.
Could not ask for more.

The people at
church were so inviting and made me feel welcomed. I have never been to a
church service with so many people. I enjoyed Dr. Daniel's sermon. It
was very heartfelt and lifted me !up. Going to Sisiyi Falls was so much
fun. I enjoyed socializing with the nursing and surgical technologist
students we have had with us all week.

God created
Sunday to be a day of rest and that is surely what we did! We had a
long hard week serving and ended the week being guest at Chosen Church
of Mbale. During the service we heard very energetic and uplifting
music. Also Dr.Daniel gave a great sermon about God has a plan and
purpose for our lives. He said that when we are going through trouble,
there is no better way of overcoming then to give to someone in need.
Also we had a great picnic and hike at beautiful Mount Elgon. What a
wonderful day!!!

Sunday was such a great day of
fellowship! It is awesome being able to go to church and worship Jesus
with our team and other Ugandans! I love praise and worship at the
church here! The people are so full of energy and joy. And then going to
Sisiyi falls was beautiful! Then climbing up to the top of the falls
was fun - there is a whole village of people that live up at the top.
They were all very friendly and the children enjoyed having us take
their pictures and they followed us around for a while. Overall it was a
great day!

I was so humbled worshipping with the
Ugandans on Sunday. They praised God with their "hearts and voices. It
was hot and crowded, but that didn't matter. I truly felt the joy of
the Lord.

I confess, I paid them all to say nice
things about my sermon, JK -- thanks for the kind words. I enjoyed the
hike up to the top of the falls too, but sure made me realize how out of
shape I have gotten since I quit exercising after breaking my foot,
thought I was going to run out of air (time to start climbing stairs
again). Taught a couple of boys how to make a grass whistle, scared a
couple of folks by getting close to the edge, a good time as usual.
