So I went to the hospital for the first half of the morning to poke around and take some photos and I got to see something cool.
Lunch in the fistula ward.
Beans in the left hand bucket, kasava in the right hand bucket. This meal is free for the women here.The orange bucket the woman in the back is holding is where her catheter drains to.
This is the fistula ward.
This is Harriet. (on the right) She has just had the fistula repair operation the first week we were here. Lisa and I were able to give her a Luhkonzo Bible we had bought in Kasese during the first two weeks.
This is jackfruit. Yes, it is actually as big as it looks. In fact it's probably bigger than it looks. These were small. When you eat this fruit, you have to coat your fingers with margarine first because it's so sticky. Jackfruit was probably on the tree of knowledge, because it looks unbelievable awesome, but then it's unbelievably messy. No, I haven't had it yet.
Lindsey,
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love this blog! I'm so glad you've been able to update it, so that I and others who love and miss you are able to know what's going on in your life in Uganda! I miss it terribly, and I wish everyday that I had been one of the ones that God chose to keep over there for the extra six weeks. But I know it wasn't my time, and there are things here that God would have me do. One day it will be my turn, I hope.
In the mean time, I am getting so much joy watching God use you in your time. You had the opportunity to do something great for the Kingdom, and you're doing it. Moreover, I can feel right through the page the awesome things going on in your heart, and I want you to know that I believe in you so much.
I believe that you are able to do what it is that God is asking you to do while you're there, and I have so much confidence that you and Lisa both are making more of a difference than you may think. Just remember what St. Augustine said, "All that was required of me was to have the will to go, and in that I had already arrived." (Confessions)
Love you so much,
Anna
