Our Last Full Day: Kasubi and Bukasa

We were out the door by 9 a.m. this morning and drove to Kasubi for pastor training, fun with the children, and TAPP visits in the Nabulagala village. A few members of our team were also able to meet with their Children of Promise. We finished by having lunch on the school premises. We were served goat, ugali (maize bread) rice, beans, cooked greens, matooke (mashed banana), squash, and of course a bottle of soda. We then drove to Bukasa for more of the same.

The Bukasa area was so beautiful, with dramatic Lake Victoria views. All afternoon we played minute-to-win-it games like we play in our own children's church back at CCC. All the games we had prepared and hadn't used yet were put to action with pure joy and laughter, and a bit of curiosity. Grant had a first: he participated in a women's Bible study and secretly loved it. Some got a tour of the Heritage International school, while others went on more TAPP visits. The fellowship together ended with a beautiful performance by the school children.

We have now ended our last night in Uganda. Everyone is so tired but feeling incredibly blessed to have been a part of this amazing African journey.

We'll each write a few lasting thoughts tomorrow before departing for the airport. Stay tuned.

Good night.
