Visitors - Graduations - Baptisms - Preaching

It was good to have Steve arrive safely from the UK and make his way down to us from Entebbe last Sunday. It was a fairly relaxed week, a trip to Bukoora and a tour of various water tanks and cabbage fields! A late lunch at the beautiful lake Bunyonyi. A talk at All Saint Youth Conference - all three of us took part. A meal out alone as we had a babysitter (Steve) on hand :-) Finally we set him on his way on Friday morning, just before we spent the entire day at the NTC Graduation Ceremony with around 3000 students and supporters!!!

Entertainment and note the many tents behind filled with students.

Saturday was another busy day, as we attended the baptism and function of one of the local Councillor's children. We arrived at the church at about 10am (the service started at around 11am) and we finally got home gone 5pm. The Bishop came to conduct the service, so it was an extra special occasion for the family. Leo is becoming a bit of a singer for local functions we attend and was called upon to sing a welcome song, this time Bethany stood with him to give him some support!

The Bishop and the Baby!

Today, Sunday, Craig and I preached at the NTC Chapel, as it was the final service for the current primary teachers on the their up-grading course. Then this afternoon we attended the Youth Worship at All Saints, as the Youth Conference came to a close. The worship was a bit more of what we've been used to in the UK, with even most of the songs being new - so an encouraging time for us. It was also great to see and hear our good friend Talent, along with a wonderful choir made of the vacists (students on holiday from Uni & school).
