Two weeks ago, we started our journey to Kobwin, Musana, and Jinja. My dad and Uncle Tal and Uncle James (accountant) and the auditors were going to work at Kobwin and Musana. So our family and Uncle Tal's family decided to tag along. We then planned to stay a few days in Jinja. Our family was the advance party and the Andersons were going to leave Kasana after church on Sunday and pick up Uncle James and the auditors in Kampala. Catriona stayed with them because her worship team was having a worship night on Saturday and leading worship on Sunday.
Dad, Mum, John, and I left Kasana on Saturday morning to drive to Mbale. We had to stop in Kampala to shop. We picked up some yogurt for lunch and then got back on the road. Before you go into Jinja, you can stop to buy chicken on a stick. You drive up and your car gets surrounded by people trying to sell you chicken, gonja (roasted banana), and drinks. We bought some chicken and gonja and were on our way again. By the way, it is delicious!
We got to our hotel in Mbale around 6:30. We were going to eat dinner outside but after a total of three minutes, my legs and feet were covered in mosquito bites so we chose the muggy indoors to the buggy outdoors. It was a good decision because it meant that we could set up our Settlers of Catan game and play (in the light) until our food came. Since our food didn't come until about 9:00 I was glad we came inside. The food was delicious though--goat stew with matooke and rice. Mmm... After we finished our game, we went to bed. The next morning, we went to an OPC church. It was a different service from Kasana. We sang from hymnals and it was much smaller, but it was great to get to see another church in Uganda. After eating lunch at the church, we got back in the car to drive to Kobwin! We were welcomed by Auntie Constance and many of the staff members and children.
Part 2 is coming soon!
