Uganda: Week Four

This was written on Thursday. I meant to post it on my blog, but I haven't had wifi on my laptop the past few days.

Hi everyone,

Last week was Anna and my fourth week in Uganda. Nothing much has changed since our third week in Uganda. Our days consist of attending prayer meeting, helping out at the clinic, giving violin and English lessons, going to the market, and making dinner. Some days at the clinic are really busy while other days there is not much going on. Last week, while Seul-Gi gave eye check-ups to Ugandan students, I helped her communicate with the students by translating while Anna helped dilate the students’ eyes. However the clinic has been very quiet this week.

Last Sunday, Dr. James Ocita gave the message. We helped out by teaching the younger kids about the birth of Moses. However, since the Sunday Worship Service begins at 9 AM and CBF occurs during the Sunday message, we were unable to listen to Dr. James Ocita’s message. We met Dr. James Ocita after the service and gave him the gifts. This Sunday, Cornerstone fellowship (the fellowship we are part of while in Uganda) will lead worship and play a special song. Please pray that we can glorify God as we do our best to sing and play our instruments. For the special song, I will be playing a violin-piano duet with Eunhye (Dr. Livingstone and Grace’s second daughter).

It seems that people constantly come and go from the Bethesda Medical Centre. This Saturday, another Korean volunteer from Vision Care will be coming to the clinic to do the administrative work. She’ll be living across the hall from us. I pray that we can welcome her and help her adjust to life in Uganda. The staff is also preparing for Eye Camp from July 20-25, which we unfortunately won’t be able to attend since we will be returning on July 21st. Eye Camp is a week full of free eye check-ups and glasses for anyone who comes. In preparation for the Eye Camp, there will soon be a lot of visitors from Korea.

We were feeling sick for a couple of days last week, but now we are feeling much better. As always, thank you so much for your prayers and support!
