The day Heritage let out for Christmas break, we had a chapel celebration complete with grades presenting skits, music and Bible verses. Christmas songs and worship finished out our time together. (below you'll see our worship band leading us in praise).
Right around that time, our missionaries received a call from our friend Mike H. visiting Uganda from the USA. He does various ministries in Africa and had a change of plans which put him in Kampala on a last minute few days. This man is father-in-law to one of my favorite people and close friend, Conchie (we met at Asbury). So for me it was like a family member visiting! Our whole Kampala WGM family (those here at the time) got together for a steak dinner with Mike and his guest.
After a few days in town doing catch-up (a dental check up and a car once-over), I headed out of Kampala for 3 days during Christmas break. Mayo's and I stayed at a place with a lovely pool and a new-to-us mini-golf game. Below you'll see Jordan and Ethan, my golf opponents. Please note that yes, the ball goes through the hippo-shaped obstacle. And yes, when the boys first played they said the hippo had some "intestinal blockages" which kept the ball from going through. Apparently the spiderwebs or whatever else was inside were flushed out. (nice pun, eh?!)
Yep, those are the homemade golf clubs the hotel made. And yes, there ARE real golf clubs available here, but we guessed the hotel wanted to save money and make their own. Totally entertaining if you could see them up close!
We did not stay here, but passing by it we had to take a photo. If you stay here (note it is a small hotel and campground), expect it to be "HOT, HOT". Funny.
The days before Christmas, I'd made a lot of "super shooter" (pressed) cookies for various activities and friends. Susan my house helper and Peter my watchman longed to learn how it all worked. It was a delightful afternoon when we had a cookie making/decorating "party". They LOVED it! And of course they took some home to their families, too.
