When I was little my Dad always told me how difficult his life was as a little boy, and how he had to walk uphill both ways to get to school and home again. I always laughed and gave him a hard time about it. Well Dad, this week I've found it IS possible to walk uphill both ways to and from school.
The craft shop had a lot of work that needed to be completed, so I decided last week to move my sewing class from the craft shop to Dorcas. What I didn't realize when I made the decision was I would have to walk uphill both ways (The home I stay at is on one hill and Dorcas is on the next hill. I have to walk through the valley.) . So here are some photos of my walk; it's very scenic. I hope you enjoy it.
The Kaihura International Full Gospel Church (I think I got the name right)
The hill (My path up the hill is on the left.)

My final destination: Dorcas
My classes have been going much smoother and focused since I moved them to Dorcas. It is easier to teach without customers coming in all the time. This week we did a crash course on embroidery, I will put up those pictures when they finish their projects. Many of the girls did very well, some not so well. But embroidery is not for everyone. Patrick, Principal of Dorcas, asked me if I would teach an Adult Embroidery class, so we'll see if that will come about in the next few weeks.
The next month is very busy; first: Dorcas is having their 3rd or 4th graduation. Katie and I have been asked to make a cake to serve 70 people. We accepted the challenge. So pray that all the cakes come out of their pans without breaking (there is no wax or parchment paper here to assist me). Then in July, there are 2 Embrace Uganda teams coming, so we will be hanging mosquito nets in neighboring villages and doing other outreaches.
Life will be very busy in the coming weeks; I'm looking forward to it.
Thank you for all your support and prayers. I know they are making a difference.
Love,

The only difference is you didn't walk in the snow uphill both ways. LOL. Glad your'e having fun!!
ReplyDeleteNo snow, but in a few months it will be a mud road not a dirt road. I think I will prefer the snow.
