Not Much.

Sunday came with mixed feeling, the knowledge of John and Angela’s departure the next day weighed heavily on us. Church was our first stop in the day and although we are still getting used to KBC, it’s was only our second week there. Afterwards we made the trip to a ‘nearby’ craft market. In the two weeks we had been here, we had never seen so many Mzungu’s! It was fairly touristy but it was loverly to go exploring each shop and haggling over European prices. John and Angela brought several things to take home but as they seem to have traveled all over the world they made sure they didn’t buy repeats. Some of us made the trip there and back the slightly more adventurous way of sitting (when we weren’t falling over) in the back of the four by four. We had a good laugh, beatboxing, teasing etc but as we made our way into the house the mood grew sober. We had a tearful meal as John and Angela spoke of their time with us and we tried to express how much they had helped us.

They were off the next morning, waving to us as we drove away in the taxi, not stopping until we were out of sight. They will be home by now and would have been for a while (depending when we get internet so I can post this) and hopefully not too tiered from their long journey. When they were making it, we were back on the farm under a scorching sun (much more sun burn this time) planting seeds once more. It was exhausting but we finished panting the entire field so it was with a sense of achievement we feel asleep in the back of the taxi on the way back. Unfortunately, when we got back we found ourselves locked out. That meant another hour or so without a shower and no guarantee when we get in that there would be any power or water. Fortunately there was both (at least for a while) when we got in, and so we all got clean, eventually (with five girls sharing one shower it takes a while.)

Tuesday came quickly and was welcomed with open arms as, because of a Muslim festival, we had a free day. Although, once again, I woke up early and couldn’t get back to sleep, the day was beautifully relaxed. We sorted everything out, planned the next few says, updated everything and just chilled.

It prepared us well for Wednesday in which we where back to Chosen school and this time, without John and Angela (dun dun dundundun.) It went alright, I think, for all of us. My plan went to pot because we where late (blame the traffic) but two teachers were off ill meaning we all taught a lot more than we thought we were going to. It was a lot better than before but the best part was that we were left to our own devices on the way back. It was really nice just to be able to wonder down the road in Uganda on our own, able to buy a chapatti or a drink casually. After getting back, we planned some more and watched the second half of Forest Gump. So that is about where I am up to, we have literally just got internet (good timing) so I will post this now.

Love you all and I pray you are all well.

Goodnight.
