First Few Days in Uganda

Good Evening. It's now about 9pm on our second complete day in Uganda and we are slowly adapting to the Ugandan way of doing things. We've had some fun, and now starts the serious stuff. Some of us are off to a slum church tomorrow morning (pre-7am start!) to listen to George preach (lucky them!) and some more of us are going to the Cathedral for the 8.30am service. Mike, of course, is going for the 7am Communion service, so it will be an early start for all of us! Sunday will be fairly fluid as we're hoping to be invited for lunch to various places, but we are hoping to meet together for dinner in the evening. Mike Mukasa, who spent 2 weeks at Trinity in the fall term, spent some of this evening with us and it was lovely to catch up with him again.
The group of us went up to the Cathedral yesterday and met the Dean, who has invited some of us to share in the service tomorrow. It is very interesting hearing about Uganda's history from a native Ugandan, instead of what we hear on the news or in the papers.
The weather here has been gorgeous (sorry, everyone) and we've had to suffer rather warm, sunny, dry weather. The altitude hasn't bothered the members of the group so far, but we're very careful not to walk up hills! We've had some "interesting" transport experiences!
That's all from Melanie for now. Someone else will update this again soon. Lots of Love and thank you for your continued prayers.
