This morning we went shopping! Normally only two of us would do this job but we all went today so we'd know what to do! Half of the shopping is bought in the supermarket, and half in the market. Then you have to try and carry all the shopping in the taxi back haha!
When we got back to the centre, we decided to do our first batch of washing - Ugandan style of course! (Actually writing this has reminded me that we need to go and get it off the line!) We surprisingly enjoyed it but ask me in a few weeks time and the novelty might have worn off!
On our way in and out of the Smile house we had noticed some children down the road who would often wave at us, so this afternoon we decided to go down and see them. They were very very excited and came running up to us and into our arms! We got some bubbles out which were very popular and many of them just wanted some cuddles and attention. We attempted to sing with them and discovered that they know "twinkle twinkle little star". We spoke to some girls who told us that they were 2 of 10 children!
We have been missing home this first week, but being out with the children and just spending time in the community reminds us why we're here.
Please keep praying for good health and homesickness! Also that we quickly get into a routine and can settle into life here.
