Sunday - Day 5
Written by Bethany Haynes
This morning the whole team went to 4 different churches – Church of Uganda, Assemblies of God, Deliverance Church and Baptist. The Baptist, Pentecostal and deliverance (Pentecostal) were very happy clappy and the C of Uganda was not so happy clappy, they had hymns that we knew but were sung in Ugandan. We were all very warmly welcomed and felt right at home. It was definitely a very different experience for everyone. We had a buffet lunch back at the hotel and then set off for a fishing trip! To get to the lake we had to go down a narrow track with the banks either side with a small drop down to the water’s edge. When got there and saw the boats most of us said no and were a bit warey. Seeing the boats on the bank they were shallow and you could see the water pouring in. The first 9 went out and caught a few fish, a couple of us decided to have a go too! Paul Slater claimed to have caught a fish but John didn’t believe him. Quite a few people caught some fish also, they were very small fish so too small to eat really…but it was fun! The fishing was absolutely amazing and quite an experience. I will definitely do it again.
After the fishing some of us were ready for a hot shower and a wash. The rest went back to the centre. There was still some sorting out of gifts from home to do and the building team to pick up as they’d been working hard while we were out fishing. Tom and Ben kicked a football about with the boys. Dilys took a Frisbee to the field and ended up surrounded by local children again so we ended up with an organised Frisbee throwing lesson with the usual giggles and jostling for attention.
