Wow it has been a long time and I have not written here.
First let me talk about Kampala King’s School. We closed the second term on the 13th of August with a parents meeting. This was the most peaceful closing of a term that we have had. There is so much to do that David can even miss to sleep and is on tension for a week before. It was so nice to be able to relax and trust that all will go well and it did. As a result of the parent meeting we have set up a PTC (Parent Teacher Committee). The parents are so excited for this to be in place and have already met during this holiday time. Teachers reported back to school on Monday the 22nd of August for seminar and preparing their schemes of work for the third term. The students will be reporting back to start studying on the 5th of September. We are behind about one month with paying teachers, but are thankful that they are patient with us. PRAYER: Keep the start of the third term in your prayers. It is getting difficult with the increase of living here in Uganda for parents to pay school fees and that affects all areas of the school, so we are praying for God’s provision on the parents as well as the school at large.
The King’s Discipleship Church has seen some great growth also. It makes such a difference to have a separate structure for church. We have had many visitors who are choosing to stay and are also blessing the church with their talents. The choir has added new members as well as a dancing team has risen up that goes to other churches to minister for special functions. On Sunday the 21st of August we had baby dedication of two babies, one being Keziah and the other another girl just one or two months older named Catherine. We are planning a baptism on the 11th of September as there are many in the church who has not been baptized. We also have started a Holy Communion Service on the last Sunday of the month were we combine the two services and have just one long one that we can all be together for that time. We want to be able to continue building on the church structure. The iron sheets are about completed and soon will be ready to start on the sides. PRAYER: For continual growth and that we will be able to complete the structure soon.
We started back at Bible College on the 25th of July with many changes. As some of you may know that the Director died suddenly of pneumonia on the 23rd of June. Of course things are not the same now, but we are still learning and wanting to complete the course which will be at the end of October. They have allowed us to come to classes with Keziah as she is a quiet and well behaved girl. PRAYER: To be able to complete paying in time to graduate in October.
As far as home life is concerned we are doing alright. We took a few days out and went to the village for Keziah to meet her Jaja’s (Grandparents) as well as the Uncles and Aunts who are there. It was such a busy time that we came back home so tired, but they were so happy.
One other thing that is happening with me (Heather), I have been having pain in my right foot for about 4 months. I have tried everything, raped it with a bandage, put cream for sore muscles and tried to just rest it with nothing working. We went for an x-ray to see what was going on and found out that there is a calcium deposit on the bone in the heal so that every time I step down it pushes on the tissue and causes pain. Now what we are going to have to do is remove that growth from the bone. Please, please pray for me at this time as we have to find a doctor who we can trust as well as the money that is needed to undergo such a thing.
