Here it is the end of May and the first time I have written. I don’t know if that means not much happening, so old thing, or just tired. My mom is here right now. We picked her up last Tuesday from the airport. Lydia and Grace are so happy to have her here. They cry every time she eats at Tim and Angie’s house or goes away without them. Lydia thinks we will go to Michigan too after Grandma goes home (like last time she left here). So, I think it will be pretty hard when she goes. Lydia and Grace love to color and I thing they have now made Grandma a hundred pictures. We haven’t done anything special while Grandma has been here. We just do normal life. It has been nice not to have to race around showing her everything. She has been here and seen it already. She is just enjoying being Grandma. They read books together, play outside, bake, go in the pool… It has been quiet but good. We are thankful Mom could come.
Geneva College girl’s soccer team is here too from Pennsylvania. They have their last day tomorrow. They have been a great group to have and get to know. There are 8 girls, 2 guys from the guy’s soccer team, and the girls coach. They have been busy leading a Bible school for kids at our church and now soccer clinics for three of the high school girl’s teams here in Soroti. The Bible school has gone very well seeing they have had over 100 kids to teach each day. The team has been very willing to try anything, easy going, and don’t complain. They even brought us a HUGE suitcase full of goodies from home. I know that they have been blessed and have blessed while they were here.
Sunday we all went to the village to eat at Peter’s family. Peter goes to our church and his family love having guests over. Tim has brought so many people their way they now call him their son. We had a nice afternoon in a beautiful and quiet village setting. After all the introductions, like two hours, they served us a feast. Included with very good, normal food they served goat intestines, fried ants, and pounded ants. I was impressed to see some of the people down those insides. My mom even ate a fried ant (termite).

We just got back from a really nice weekend in Jinja. Tim and Angie and all of us took Mom to Jinja for the night before she flew home. We found some really good restaurants to eat at, we had a lot of fun swimming and relaxing, and stayed right on the Nile River. It is such a beautiful area! I really enjoyed our time away. Tim and Angie then went on to Kampala with Mom to take her to the air port and we went home. It is always sad saying good-bye. I
was thankful after a few tears the girls did alright. Five months and we will be home to see everyone again!
