We visited with Mama Judith this morning. We arranged to meet at Giporoso at 8.50, but Mike arrived at 9.15, Jean Claude at close to ten. Karen and I, tired of standing, sat in the dust while we waited, bored. Mike brought blueberry peace muffins, and I was appeased until a hungry face came and took my one from me.
When we finally arrived at Mama Judith's house, we had a really special time together. She gave us fanta, bananas and bread, as well as a red flower each. Jean Claude and I translated for Karyn and Mike and it worked really well.
I really love Mama Judith and it's a privilege to be teaching her English. She has such a generous heart and is really very sweet.
In the afternoon we had Ubuzima. It was Mike's first time there and it was funny watching him trying to remember the greetings I had quickly coached him in before pushing into the throng of women. They'd say 'How are you?' and he'd say 'Amen!'. They'd say 'Praise Jesus!' and he'd say 'I’m fine'. It was funny.
