Uganda Sunday, July 15 Our service at Immanuel, Ishongorero took about 2 hrs and was followed by a baptism of a baby girl.   The service started with about 15 minutes of singing, clapping and praising the Lord.   When Pastor Bensen preached he did the sermon in both the native language and English. Following the baptism, greetings were given by numerous officials-greeting from the President of the Lutheran Church of Uganda   then by various local officials.   It was after 3 pm before the meal was served. After the lunch, 20 filter buckets were given out to people from Immanuel congregation. Very few of these people had been at the presentation by the team who was here in February, so we   decided to have them complete the questionnaire, review the filter bucket including removing he filter to backwash with the syringe provided with the bucket. All in all it was a glorious day! When pastor   ame this morning, he brought each of us a dress to wear to church and shirts for t

Following breakfast   we stopped in Ibanda to exchange US currency for Ugandan shillings. One dollar equals 3600 shillings so purchasing 10 gallons of gas at approximately one dollar per liter is about 44000 shillings.   Our trip to Christ preaching station took about 2 hrs with the last half hour on unpaved roads.

The morning began with the children singing 3 songs for us. Then Trevor showed how to make a tippy tap which consists of a jug filled with water, a bar of soap on a string and a pedal to step on to tip the water jug.   The children and adults then broke into groups for teaching the health and hy

Friday, July 13 th The Lord kept us safe and sound today-it was a good Friday the 13 th .   Our preaching station today was at Good Shepherd in Ishongororo.   They have a church building they own so we had concrete floors again today. We have finally figured out the terminology for water supplies here.   What we would consider a well in the US is called a borehole here. It is drilled 60-100 ft deep but not finished like a drilled well. It does have a pump system.   A well here is a pond which is fed from below ground like an artisan well in the US however, the ponds may dry up in the dry season.   Cattle may use the pond depending upon the location of the pond, size of the pond and the angle of the sides. To supplement their water supply, some people have a cistern which collects water from roofs during the rainy season or there may be a community cistern.   Everyone agrees a river is a river here. The team members teaching the adults have become proficient at working with
