I’m coming close to the end of my time here in Uganda. Its funny how are the start of new seasons time seems to move slowly, but when the end comes into sight that perception of time changes, and suddenly you don’t know where it’s all gone. I’ve been here for just over two months and my last week will be spent in Soroti (North-East Uganda), about six hours drive from Kampala.
So this week I have started wrapping things up in the office, and saying goodbye. I’ve been working on various different tasks during my time here, so I wanted to make sure I had handed over everything that had been completed, so it could be put to good use.
On Thursday I had my final Go Fellowship meeting, which is with the young people. I led a discussion on humility, which is always an interesting topic after spending the afternoon at prayer mountain with Richmond. At the beginning of each month we have pizza from Nando’s (yes, Nando’s does pizza here), and at the end, if there are birthdays that month, we have cake. Last month there were no birthdays, so we had no cake (it was still a month away from my half birthday, so I couldn’t even get cake that way) – which I was highly disappointed by).
It was the start of the month, so I knew we were having pizza, but then at the end they produced a wonderful looking cake with my name on it. I felt so very loved, it reminded me of the last student life group we had in Portsmouth before I left.
So again, a big thank you to all the youth that were part of that. It’s been fun teaching a learning with you these past two months, and most importantly, it’s been fun eating with you.
