Right in Kabale is a big lake that has hundreds of islands. We took the kids for the afternoon to one of the camps on the lake to eat and swim and play. Then last week Renee, the twins, and another missionary (who's here for a year) and I went to one of the islands (Bushara Island Camp) to stay for a three day get away! We all stayed in one of the cottages and had a porch that overlooked the lake. We got to eat a great breakfast out there.
There was no electricity, so we used lanterns and played games at night. We even had a campfire and found sticks to roast the marshmallows that Renee and I made (they're easy to make!). It rained one day but the others were beautiful. The island is about one mile in circumfrance and has lots of trees. All over the islands there are like 300 species of birds. We went on a bird watching hike around the island with a guide and we found 25 different birds.
Another day we had a dance group from the area come and perform local dances and songs. Everyone loved the twins and so we had instant babysitters for part of the day. Twins are a big deal here, they bring much blessing! It is such a beautiful area and reminded us of how great God's creation is and how creative He was in making so many different varieties of plants and birds. On Thursday Brian is leaving to go house hunting in Kampala for a week again, so Renee is very happy I'm here to help! I can't believe there are only two and a half weeks left. Its gone fast! Later...Ann

Hi Ann,
I've still been sending support for you through Sunshine Gospel in Chicago. The account was set up for automatic withdrawal monthly. I would assume they will not forward that to you in your new ministry. Do you have something like that i could still support you with. We don't belong to Cross anymore, so we're not "in the loop" on information. The church we now attend has 20% of it's budget specifically for missions. We believe in this strongly. my grandfather brought the Holy Spirit with him into the jungles of Nigeria back in the 1910s, converting cannilbals into Christians. Anyway, your grandmother told me i could send stuff through your sister, but i wanted to inquire to see if there was a mission or something you'd prefer me to go through.
