A walk to remember

Hello Everyone,

Today Auntie Cassie and I went to a different church to hear a guest ministry team from Texas speak, and do worship. It wasn't bad, but not what we were expecting for sure. Makes me really appreciate the church family we have at home. Not to mention I miss banging away in the drum cage. Hard to believe that it will be less than two months before I am back banging away again.

After we got home, and had lunch, we played soccer until Uncle Francis stopped by so we could go on our weekly "picture walk". Auntie Cassie leaves in a little over a week, so we wanted to finish off the pictures we had left on the cameras, so she can take them home to develop them. We walked for three hours, through a new part of Gulu and up to Gulu University. No walk could be complete without having to stop in a field so the kids could use the "facilites." The have really started to get the hang of taking photos, and not just capturing every goat or dog they see. Now they look for unique trees, or animals, or children to photograph. On our way back we came across two boys climbing a tree. Both without clothes, but one had somehow managed to get some long blue ribbon stuck to his bottom. It looked like he had a long blue tail. That truly made it a walk to remember.

Dinner was incredible as it usually is on sunday. We butcher a rooster in the morning and have it for dinner Sunday nights. Chicken and rice is always a great dish.

Love and miss you all,

Joe
