Kathryn is now 'Kaneza'. This literally translates to 'little stick' but means that she is small or cute!
Jon's new name is 'Mugisha' which means 'blessing'. Although it sounds a bit like magician which Jon keeps introducing himself as!
Anna is 'Uwera', which translates to 'pure'. She loves this name and has already changed her facebook name to it!
Susie is 'Irakoze'. This means 'God has done great' which is so lovely!
Alex gave me a choice between two names (anyone who knows me knows that this is not a good idea because I cannot make decisions!!). 'Kiizi' or 'Irambona'. Kiizi means 'somthing beautiful' and Irambona means 'God watches over me'. I let the team decide! They chose Irambona, so that's me now!
Sorry it's a short blog today!
Quick update:
- We went hospital visiting on Monday and are going again tomorrow.
- Tuesday and Wednesday were school. One of the teachers went outside to show the children plants during a science lesson, and went to get a model skeleton to teach about bones!! This is such progress as when we arrived they simply read from textbooks.
- We've run out of marmite... SOS.
- We had some visitors! Kelly and Jono are both British, and Kelly did a gap year with Smile a few years ago. It was so lovely to chat to them and they came to children's club with us on Friday.
- A baby weed on me again at children's club. Twice.
- We've had very little power all week, hence why I haven't been blogging! Cooking by candlelight is interesting but we're hoping that by the end of the month, it will be back to normal.
- It's been raining quite a lot, but it's still very hot! Hard to believe that it's November!!
Prayer requests:
- Jacob, our security guy, is recovering from malaria so please pray that he returns to full health.
- A young lady who was involved in the church we go to died during childbirth. This has shocked the whole church. Please pray for the husband and their newborn son.
