December Photo Project: Day 13

Yesterday, the girls had their ballet recital.  They have been working with the other girls in the missionary community here in Mbale.  The group of girls did such a lovely job!


The girls from our church also did a dance.

December Photo Project: Day 11

Last night we had a great time putting on a compound party with the Magalas, Paige, and our family.  As usual, it was so much fun!


Jimmy and Brian





Love my littles (though they aren't so little anymore!)

After supper, we had another rousing evening of "Compound's Got Talent."  Our esteemed judges were Martin, Abu and Sammy:

 Abu doing a magic trick:

Timothy's talent of creating a flaming sword...haha!

Here are a few videos:
The first is Eric and the littles doing "Don't Take Your Guns to Town"



And this is a Swahili song that Mama Rachel, Martin, Abu and Sammy did. It's something about not being a wolf in sheep's clothing:

December Photo Project: Day 10

Today's photos are from our open compound time.  We always have a blast.  

Watching volleyball:

Miss Paige's team... their cheer was "Little but Strong"












We always end with "Circle Time" where we sing, review Sunday School and the sermon, recite the children's catechism and read the Bible.

December Photo Project: Day 9

Sermon night: post-dinner/ post-sermon discussion.  Are we living for the pleasures of this world or the world to come? 


December Photo Project: Day 8

Last night we came home from our retreat tired and ready to relax.  For our weekly movie night, we watched Charlotte's Web projected up on the wall.  Denise had read the book recently and was super excited to see the movie.  Sniffles from the littlest people were quietly heard when poor Charlotte died.  Bless their tender hearts.
