Kabale & the Davis Family


We are back in Kabale and it has been chilly and rainy...big difference from Kampala's sunshine and heat. Kabale is at 8,000 ft elevation. It is never a dull moment at the Davis house. With three lively girls and twin seven month olds, there is lots to do. The electricity has been off a lot of the time, so we've eaten four of the last five dinners in candle light. Also due to the power outages, there were three days where no water was getting up the hill to their house and the reserve tank was almost dry, so we really conserved, which brought on creativity! Thankfully the water was restored!! I have been helping Juli (six & a half) with some of her school work and reading lots of books and announcing fashion shows and playing games. Tonight is pizza movie night and the special feature is "Ratatouie" which they just got in the mail for Christmas! We're praying that the power stays on strong! I have been enjoying helping Renee in the kitchen as she has to make everything from scratch...even tortillas and chips and ice cream and pizza sauce. She also makes really good homemade sugar roasted peanuts. Their family is going to be taking a new position as short-term and mid-term coordinators and moving their family up to Kampala. They have looked for houses at the beginning and end of my time up in Kampala. They have had no luck finding places that would work for their family and fit their budget and be close to the ministry site. Some of the land agents even laughed at the idea. So...please pray that God would provide just what they need!!! Keep praying for my head too! I had a better day on Wednesday! But mostly still the same. Thanks for your prayers!!
