Hair plaiting



Penny, Dani and Angie visited us for a couple of weeks. On their last day we hosted a "Hair Plaiting" party. We had six sisters from our branch doing the plaiting. It took about seven hours including breakfast and lunch. It was a fabulous time.

Love this picture. It was taken right after the hair plaiting party.

We got mangos!


Yeah, we got mangos. Right outside our apartment we have a mango tree. They are huge. There is also an avocado tree with similar fruit. They do fruit in Uganda.

We are back to our YSA Activity Days. Above we are playing "Four Square", destined to become a favorite. Below we are playing "Pressy Pressy", one of the favorites for the locals.















Some of the local fauna in uganda. The bat was found in our apartment. It took quite an effort to capture it. We then took a picture of it and let it go. It was really mad.
The dogs are purebred Uganda dogs. They are "free range" and everywhere. They come it three colors; brown, black and brown and black.

This is a very common scene here in Africa. It's very apparent; the love and support siblings have for one another. Very nice to see.
