Triplets
Thursday 29th 7:45pm
It’s always fun to have a surprise. The surgery team arrived at the hospital today to find triplets being born. One baby was delivered last night but they were unable to deliver the placenta so a c-section had to be done this morning then the other two babies were born. All surgeries went good today they were able to get 7 surgeries done.
A few problems with one of the water wells may delay getting the well done before the team departs. It has something to do with putting the pipes further in the ground. I wasn’t able to get the whole story from Craig today as I was traveling and didn’t have much time to talk. I’ll try to get more information to you later. At the other well there was a beehive so that had to be taken care of before anymore work could continue.
In Uganda the American people are called mzungu. Today granite rocks had to be carried and the Ugandans were laughing at the mzungu’s because they couldn’t carry the heavy rocks. One women, with a baby strapped to her back, picked up a rock and put it on her head then picked up another one and carried it while the mzungu’s could only care small rocks.
Two schools were visited today and the story of Zacchaeus (Luke 19:1-10) was presented to the children. Someone climbed a tree to help illustrate the story. I’m sure the kids enjoyed that.
Tomorrow the team will play soccer with the some of the kids from the schools. I have a feeling the kids will win.
Thank you for your prayers for the team. Continue to pray for them as they present the gospel to the children as well as the adults, as they continue to work on the water wells and for the surgical team as they care for the physical needs of those in need.
Until tomorrow….
