June 14th: Sunday
I slept in to 8:45. Caught up on my psalm reading and mosied on over to the kitchen to make breakfast a little after 9. the rest of the team got back a couple minutes later from the 7 o’clock service at a nearby village. Went to church which is in on a concrete slab with a metal roof on it and open to the air. We sang songs in Karamojan and it was really hard to pronounce but very beautiful. Pastor Dave preached through a translator. There were about 20 or 25 people sitting on the benches and as the service progressed more people came and sat in the back.
There are two services here. One at Copataun (sp?) at 7 that takes place under a big tree just outside the village. Either Pastor Al or Dave will preach there and at the 10 o’clock service just outside of the compound. Whoever doesn’t preach will teach Sunday school which takes place from 11 to noon right after church. They switch off each month.
I stepped on a nail on Saturday and it is a nice clean incision and doesn’t look infected at all. My hand however looks infected. I cut myself on the roof Friday and now it has swelled up and is pussy and disgusting.
The team went to the Tricaricos after dinner to watch Jeeves and Wooster a British comedy TV series based off of the books by Woodhouse. I love Jeeves and Wooster and am very excited to learn that the Tricaricos watch them too.
