meal!
Here I am again very nice abstinence long after calming! Sorry for
's silence, but in Uganda's Internet was so crappy that I am neither here nor could log into my normal e-mail * * grmpf
But what the heck. Had it net most of the time anyway.
Hmmmm ..... all rolled up in recent weeks what happened is, I think I would tap cost 2 days:) But
views nen brief overview: Uganda was awesome, but was ne great time!
Our accommodation who had pretty good luck. We were in nem orphanage, which was empty at the time, because it's law since the beginning of the school from Christmas to all the orphans to any relatives . Go So were those who at least en "real" house, most of the time at least as much power had the who night more or less light, and could occasionally watching news (CNN and Aljazeera - what 's a combination!)
And even if it's not a European Standard was: En proper toilet and shower ne. And in most cases water was there.
the only downside was that the buildings are finished with the net yet. Because after about half of our time, the rainy season started and we had a waterfall in the stairwell and NEN stream directly into the bedroom of us guys. Merry Christmass! By the way: The staircase was our kitchen:) Well
. We were only 6 weeks since. But the kid's life and ham as the quasi-ever ...
But even if the kids were in the first 5 weeks since net, ham who spent the most time with them. In the communities near Kampala and so on. Dat was incredibly awesome! Most of the kids outside the capital barely see one of the net is black. And on most corners, the kids are quite out of a small house and greet with "Msungu! Msungu!" - Heist as much as "white" and that is where each of the net is black. So whether Europeans, Arabs, Chinese, Indians ,.... Msungu everything:)
Rommy, the son of the pastor with whom we have worked has told us that if we call someone Msungu / Weisser, then something like quasi isses ne ceremony. But conversely, if we would say black, as would be the ne ne humiliation ... The scars from the colonial era are still pretty strong. Although most are grateful for, the development of Uganda, in time, thanks to the Commonwealth. In any case, the English league is everywhere:) Every two taxi bus is me plastered Arsenal, Chelsea or Manchester United:)
and s few games ham who also given us:) Even if I net am the football like this: If mer en game looks are all the same. Whether Africans, Europeans, Ammi ,.... - Is good:) However, in most
is the stereotype: rich = Weis. The net is always really easy ... But
ma back to the kids: They were so happy when we were there just for se, played games and Bible stories told or have played, broken clothes have zusammengenaeht again .... And above all, has
the orphans's means a lot, just put in the arm, or held to be .... so little means so much sometimes ...
Once Deborah has a little girl (maybe 3 years old) had on his arm and another child would also be held. And the little girl was so desperate for love, for Koerperkontakt they hit after another, not to be let down ..... Otherwise
ham who probably had to work. Predominantly strike and so the orphanage and the school which belongs to it. And Sundays were almost always those who worked in other communities and Service with ham on. Sermons, worship told, as we have come to Jesus, and why in the world, we do it all:) as listed small play and of course also made the most of children's service:) - most comfortable I've always felt in small communities. Net because they were small, but in the larger communities, unfortunately, was a lot of show and such. Dat is nu net Sun mine ... then rather shrill sung songs and honest.
peace joy pancakes, however, was all net. If pressure is on en mer Dieshes, mer recognizes the weakest point. S and some ham from our team because it had to fight quite beautiful.
My problem: I am a German than I thought :))))) - all of which mer abroad as a typical German look (punctuality, reliability, high-quality work, accurate scheduling and ...) - Returns non! The boys are mostly ueberrelaxt. And that drives a schonmal inside insanity. - "Hey man it's Africa!" :) The sentence I must hear it a few times and must internalize in order to have my peace :))))))
Half the time ham who should make up the net morning who knew what. If it was planned, and so ne sermon for the adults, had to be taken mer However, the chamber should suddenly make the children's service:) - "Relax and be flexible!" * Looool *
In the middle of Outreach's then has half the team was blown away. 6 of 12 in the hospital. Merry Christmass! 2 with (fortunately only slightly nervous), malaria, and 4 with no idea was. Did even the doctors net. My immune system has, however, was very well kept.
And the others were also quite quickly auf'm dam. Since our Dad has kept his hand very well over there! Would have without his protection can go another way ...
But all are back on track and are indeed already a week in Cyprus ...
Can hardly believe it. Is everything as irgndwie 's dream ... "Really? We were in Uganda ...?"
'd like to write more, but a) I have indeed nothing more to tell and b) are equal there is dinner:) Maybe I'll come
de nochma days to write something!
Until then, victory and blessing!
your Splissmeister!
PS: Our dad is the best! Recollection of the time in Uganda and then proved more than once! - This had to be said nochma:)
