Hell-o to all family friends and lcs,

The team is all doing well no one has been sick thank the Lord above. We began our day going to the Baguga school to see all the children We were very surprised to see only 100 children there due to it being the second day back after the holiday. I guess it takes a week to get everyone to return to school. The students were all happy to see us do our bible skits. The Baguga students were not afraid of the puppets they wanted to touch them and play with them. The ride to Baguga which took us an hour last time took 30 minutes the roads are improving. We all returned tired and very sweaty, it is really hot here! We set off for the internet café which is a lesson in patience for most of us. I think it took me 20 minutes to send one e-mail yesterday,

We stopped in Yambio market to buy the boys material for shirts and they love the bright fabrics. After dinner we had a devotion session with the seminary students run by Bob one of our team members. (He did a great job). We handed out all the materials we brought for the students and they were very grateful. We taught some of the students to play uno cards. They had so many questions for us about the U.SA.. Charles thought we all had a plot of land and grew our food for our families. We tried to explain a grocery store but he was really confused. When we explained that the food was already there on the shelves to buy, the look on his face was priceless. Oh what we all take for granted. The teachers and the seminary students have patience and perseverance that put me to shame. –PEGGY
