January 30th
We went to church in Kakamba today (Tom, Emily, Laura and I).
In kakamba there was some sort of mourning session going on.
I guess two people had passed away, one last night one today.
So attendance at church was a little low. I really enjoyed the
service. It’s small and it’s actually quite cool watching the
beginning of a church. I feel like Kakamba is “my village” what
with the church project I’m hoping to be able to help with. I’m
definitely continuing to pray that funding can be found to help
establish an official church here. After church we headed back
to Kamakwie for lunch and then after lunch I decided to go
walking for a while. I took my camera but unfortunately the
battery was dead. I thought I had just charged it but I guess not
well enough. After my little walk I decided to walk to the school
and worked there some more on cleaning up my lab and
preparing to do labs, I really need to get onto doing lab
practical stuff. It should be easy now what with all the new
glassware and chemicals that came in the shipment and the
chemicals I’ve identified from what they had. After returning
home and have dinner I spent a lot of the night reading for a
while. I’ve just been in the mood to read a lot lately, not that
it’s a bad thing. I love reading and I definitely haven’t been
doing enough of it. Well, that’s about all. Have a pleasant
evening and try not to freeze.

Blessings from Kamakwie,
