7am-8am-
Wake up to the beautiful Miss Sufficient Grace crying
8am-9am- Spend some quality time with the Lord, while enjoying
the beauty of this place.
9am- Eat delicious eggs/peanut butter bread/French toast for
breakfast. Make “Cinnamon Dolce Lattes� with coffee, vanilla, cinnamon and
sugar!
10am-1pm- Go to Rudicop University to preach to the students
there. This usually involves singing
worship and giving testimonies as well. Our program typically lasts about an
hour, but three hours is allotted for our ministry outing since African time is
much more lax than mzungu time.
2pm- Lunchtime! Usually consists of some form of rice,
chapatti, beans and avocado. Super
delicious. 🙂
3pm- Scheduled time to leave for the Crusade in Ngale
Village.
4pm- Actual time we leave for the Crusade.
4:30pm-6pm-Crusade in near-by village. Typically starts out with all of the mzungus
dancing crazily to African worship music, while the local children giggle at
our lack of rhythm. They then join in and
absolutely school us. My team and I then perform 2-3 American worship songs
(our recent favorites have been “My Soul Longs for You� by Jonathon David
Helser and “Our God� by Chris Tomlin). One
of us from our team then gives a testimony of what the Lord has been teaching
her and then someone goes up to preach for about 30 minutes. The women who aren’t preaching are always
covered with at least 4-5 African children with a baby on their lap. It’s great 🙂
6:30pm- Wait for dinner while various African children
wander into our home and watch us do crazy mzungu activities (such as dance
parties, ab workouts, etc..).
7pm-8pm- Eat dinner! Which usually consists of rice, beans, cabbage
and pineapple (the best pineapple ever!).
We have learned to take small portions, as our ministry contact, Pastor
Solomon is adamant about making us into Africans and having us take at least
3-4 servings. He is trying to give us
the “chapatti body�.
9pm- Bedtime…yes, we are grandmas on the World Race. Sometimes we do a little light reading of Netscape Navigator Gold 3.0 (treasure trove of books on Solomon’s shelf), but usually we just pass out. 🙂
Thanks for following what a typical day here in Mbarara looks like!
