Grandma in Obulle

Grandma Beute was able to spend a quick but special week with us in Obulle!
We love when we get to share our home, village life, ministry and friends with family.
It means a lot to us when they experience our daily lives with us.
The beauty and quietness of the village, the heat and dusty trails, visit neighbors, see our kids at home here...
We are thankful for another opportunity to "be" with Grandma in Obulle. 

Little princess on the way to church!

Greeting after church

I love this precious, plump baby!  She is the 14th child of our friend Katie - yes 14th!
 And Katie is just 40 years old this year.  Oh my!

Some Sunday evenings the a few of the ladies from church go to visit another women who has been sick, had a baby or who's family needs encouragement.  I really love going and being a part of the women.  People so appreciate when you visit them.  Our visits are mostly about fellowship but we also usually sing a song, read a scripture verse and pray together.

Sometimes we are even served tea and bread to thank us for coming.

Sunday night pizza - and football!

Grandma had art class with the kids and taught them how to paint different trees.

Luka loved having Grandma teach him a few days!

We did a lot of visiting and greeting neighbors.

Our neighbor Winnie winnowing.

Grace helped our neighbor cook lunch for us.

One of my favorites, greens and atop!  We also had beans and posho.

Grandma and the girls baking.

Soroti had a traveling market come for a week so we went one morning.
Mom said it was an African version of a flee market - so we loved it.

It was really hot so we didn't last too long.  We all felt dehydrated by the end of our shopping.

Yes, that is Grandma playing basketball!
We love playing games and Grandma joined right in.

All good things come to an end though.  Grandma was able to fly out of Soroti on MAF and have one last adventure.
Thanks for coming Mom and sharing in our lives with us!!!
