Saturday-

We had a very nice day and the sun was out shining in the morning. We had breakfast then changed for church and got to experience the village church with a wonderful choir. The pastor was very nice and asked us all to stand up one at a time and introduce ourselves. Then one of the Swiss ladies, Doris, preached the sermon and it ended with the choir singing a medley of Swahili songs.

Our family was invited over to eat with Doris and JeanLuc and their 5 kids for lunch. They actually have 6 kids but one is off at school is Austria. The kids left at home are twins, Eric and Kristoff, Mattias, Livia, and Tim. They range in age from 7-16 and are also very nice kids. Doris is a sister to Anita so it is nice for them to be close to each other here. We had a great meal followed with special Swiss cookies (2 platefuls) and Swiss chocolate. Then Jeanluc and Doris showed us around their huge garden and all their fruit trees. They grow so many different things here that I won’t even begin to mention them all. We all ended up taking a nice walk together and then we headed back down to Jason’s house.

We got to end our day with homemade popcorn seasoned with taco seasoning. Antoinette puts in on her popcorn and it is actually very good.

Sunday-

I got busy and washed more laundry by hand and Chris got the cook stove fired up so that our clothes would get dry. I cleaned up in the guest house and mopped the bathroom tile floor. The kids ran around and played and the boys helped put together the trampoline that came in Jason’s container for his girls. A truckload of men had left earlier in the morning to go back up to Mago to unload the container for Memere but Chris chose not to go back up there. The other men managed to make it back late Sunday (what a long day). We were invited out to Bill and Nannette’s for lunch at 1pm so we hurried and got done as much as we could then we drove Memere’s truck out there. It takes about 10-15 minutes of driving to get to their home. Several homes here at Kibidula are very spread out and it would take a long time to walk over. Nannette had made us this delicious curry over rice with a huge bowl of salad. It was so good and my kids kept coming back for more. We had a very good visit then the rains finally stopped so we headed to the airstrip for a rematch in soccer. Several of the kids here showed up to play but as we arrived there it rained again. We all stood in the airplane hanger for 45 minutes hoping it would stop but it never did. In fact it really poured hard so we gave up and everyone left and we took many of the kids home in the rain. Next, I got busy and packed for our safari trip so that we could leave in the morning.
