Sunday:
Went to the local Anglican church, St. Mark. Anglican is the church of Uganda,
also known as Episcopal in the US. Here it is a very alive church, a mix of
Anglican liturgy and African enthusiasm.
Lots of singing and prayer. The
pastor is great and puts a lot of humor in his sermon. The services last 2 ½ to 3 hours. Fortunately for us the early service is in
English. The later one was in
Karamajong. We did more surgery in the
afternoon, about 13. We are getting
really good as shaving with a scalpel blade as there is no electricity for
clippers. Andy is becoming a fine
surgical assistant. He helps Julie put
in catheters and prep for surgery while Liz cuts and sutures. We finished at 7:30. What was that we said about not working after
dark???? There was a bit of a breeze so
the bugs weren’t so bad.
Val is not coming today as the bus she took to Kenya
broke down on the road for 11 hours and she did not arrive in time to buy auto
parts. Will have to wait till Monday and
hopefully come to Karamoja on Tuesday.
