Hmm, what happened on Monday? … well I just casually threw
myself off of a big platform 44 metres above the Nile, strapped by the feet to
my friend and a piece of elastic. Yes, we went bungee jumping!
We were blessed with two days off this week, so on Monday we decided to take a day trip to Jinja which is where the source of the Nile is… and a very famous bungee jump! How could we not?! It was such an incredible experience but I still can’t quite believe that I did it. My parents both thanked me for not telling them about it until I was back on solid ground.
We also travelled along the Nile in a boat and visited the source of the Nile on the edge of Lake Victoria. It was absolutely stunning! It was very special to be able to visit the source of the river that is featured so much in the Bible.

On our other day off this week we took the opportunity to
visit the Ugandan Equator where we took plenty of photos (Including some
mimicking the Beatles!).
On Friday we held another Christmas party for the children
at the other kids club that we run. This part was a lot bigger as lots of
children from the community came too, so we ended up with over 200 kids! It was
great fun and we were able to feed all of the children and to give Christmas
shoe-boxes to the kids that come regularly to the kids club. As I’m sure you
can imagine, this party was a lot more chaotic than the party last week, but
equally as fun! We spent some of this week preparing the gifts and the
decorations for the party but this time I wasn’t asked to make the cake – I
think that much cake probably would have taken me all week to make in our
kitchen!
We’ve also been making some friendship bracelets this week
which we’re planning to sell to raise money for the LT Warriors concert. The LT
Warriors are a street dance group at church. They’re very professional and take
what they do very seriously, their dances are often to Christian music and next
week they’re holding a concert which they still need to raise money for so
we’re trying to help out, as we’re good friends with a lot of the people in the
group.
Please pray this week for…
- Provision for Smile Uganda
– Provision for the LT Warriors
– Continued health and safety, and thanksgiving for God’s protection so far
