Uganda, Africa trip — part 8

Sunday, May 29th – Kyamukama village.      We got up with the dawn, under cloudy skies and a little rain (for which we were thankful—to quell the dust a little on our trip home).  We took down the tents and got the vans all packed up to be ready to leave right after the worship services and lunch.  

     The group divided up and went to two different services.  Joshua preached at Kyaya and I preached at Kyamukama.  Oh my, what an incredible experience!  Speaking with an interpreter who mirrored every inflection in my voice as well as my physical movements was so much fun!  When I knelt down to demonstrate Mary Magdalene washing Jesus’ feet, he was right down there with me!  My message was “Beautiful Feet”, and I took them on a discovery of Jesus’ feet throughout the Bible, and then just a brief look at believer’s feet, after they have come to the cross.  Justin Banger, from Riverchase, had painted a wonderful picture to go with the message, and I had it printed on large vinyl posters and 4 x 6 prints to give away as a reminder.  They received the message and the pictures like treasure.  How humbling and gratifying to be so privileged to share the gospel! 

       I promised to tell about the goat and the chicken that had been given to Colleen, which we had to take back to Kampala.  Ever resourceful, Sunday and Moses concocted a plan!  They put the goat between two pieces of cardboard, laid it flat and tied it to the top of one of the vans!  The chicken was also tied by the feet and fastened securely on top.  Both rode safely (if not very comfortably) all the way, over 6 hours!  Every once in a while we would hear “baaaaa”, and know that the goat was still with us!

I wish I were better at inserting and arranging the pictures … I’m working on it!  Thanks for reading!
