Our team declared a day of rest for the second "half" of Saturday, after about 3 PM, and first "half" of Sunday. We went back to the hotel and could either rest, read, journal, or anything else relaxing. On Saturday, I took a 4 hour nap...
Today (we're back on Sunday) was a continuation of our day of rest. First, though, I need to finish writing about yesterday. My meeting with Sunday was great, like I said in yesterday's entry. After that, though, my other two scheduled meeting fell through because those people's phones weren't working. I'll try again this week. Instead, I met up with Oliver at the Main Market, and we went to a restaurant to take lunch. Blake, Matt, and Oliver all showed up, too, unplanned, so we all took lunch together. The food was good, but it took about an hour to get there.
The only other thing I did in town was meet with Dennis, the shop owner in main Market. He said he understood, and that he wanted to know Jesus, but I'm not really sure if he actually understood everything. I told him how to pray and receive salvation, and invited him to church. He didn't show, but I'll still visit him, and if I can, bring another Ugandan with me to help him understand.
Last night, Kevin and Ryan came over, and we all played fishbowl. (Fishbowl is a combination of several games. Each player writes three words or phrases on pieces of paper and puts them in the "fishbowl." You play catch phrase with all of the words, then charades, then you can only say one word, then only sounds. It's a really fun game, and our team loved to play it.) It was so much fun, and we have several new quotes from it.
So today, non of the people I invited to church showed up. A few of the others, who were invited by other team members, were there, though. It was a good service, I enjoyed it. At the end, we prayed for each other, and Pablo told me a really encouraging picture the Lord gave him, of me running and on fire, and everyone I touched caught on fire as well.
We had pizza for lunch, and it was great. It wasn't exactly like American pizza, but it was close. Then we rested until evening worship.
Evening worship was great. We just stood - or sat, jumped, walked, whatever you felt - worshipping God for over an hour at the church.
That night, after a brief meeting and dinner with Kevin, and the two other interns who just arrived today, we Skyped with Beth and Mitchell . It was great to see them and talk to them again. They are doing well. We laughed and shared jokes and stories with them, and they prayed for all of us.
Now our Sabbath is over, and it's back to meetings and sowing seeds tomorrow.
