January 28th-29th: Thursday and Friday
Thursday morning after teaching The O’Leary’s met with all the MAs. They asked us about our input on how things were at the mission and how we felt like we were helping and what, what. It was a good discussion. I really appreciate the O’Leary’s taking so much interest in our mission and how things are going. Unfortunately because our meeting ran so long we missed the group going into town that morning.
After lunch however we were able to get a ride into town. Jenny, Heather, Maria and I wondered around and bought a couple of movies, Sherlock Holmes and another movie, Standing Tall or something. We stopped at flavors where we had a some milkshakes. Eventually we got pickeys back to the Kingfisher.
After we got back we went on a boat ride before dinner out on Lake Victoria and the Nile. The boat captain/driver had it in first gear the whole way. He used about a teaspoon of gas. It was a bit ridicules. That night after having a cigar with Craig we all watched Sherlock Holmes. Pretty entertaining movie. Very different from the books but that is to be expected.
Friday all the MAs piled into Andrews van for the drive back to Mbale. An uneventful trip except Andrew hit a speed bump at nearly full speed. I thought we had hit a cow.
We found Jim somewhat recovered at the Shelburne’s. We decided just to load up and head back to Nakaale that night rather than append another night away from home.
That day I read the first half of the sci-fi short stories I bought in Jinja. I had ripped it in half and given half to Rachel. The first half had definitely better stories. Some really interesting ones. The book was all sci-fi mysterious by Isaac Asimov.
