Saturday morning, the 18th we visited Kwagala Boys Home.  As we came in the gate Moses, one of the street boys now at the home, was laying against the fence and crying.  He had fallen during a soccer game and hurt his wrist.  We checked out the boys and took Moses and Emma to Al Shafa Medical Center for exams and  xrays.  Moses only had a sprained wrist, but Emma may have to have further studies for issues of a personal nature.  We visited with Raoul and Brian, as well as the newlyweds, Malia and Robby, all are involved with Kwagala.  Afterward we went to the site of the future women's clinic and got the tour by Dale and Daurelle Chapman, overseers of clinic.  The perimeter fence is almost complete.  Dale and his wife will be returning home for 2 months, but they hope to break ground on the new building soon after they return. When we got back to the house Don and Byron took apart an old Boxer motorcycle that needed new wheel bearings.  Paul was feeling under the weather this day so he stayed close to home.  After going to bed we were awakened at 2;30 am to help Paul, who was in lots of pain.  We gave him IV fluids and medications, and he was able to get to sleep after a couple of hours.  Dr Klinger stayed up to sit with Paul, then cooked breakfast for the crew.  This was written by Byron.

On Sunday we attended Pastor David Waisana's church, As usual we had a wonderful time worshiping with his congregation. They really love singing & dancing for the Lord. We get a kick out of watching the little kids try to do the same motions as the adults. It's such a blessing to be with so many of the people we are getting to know from our trips. The afternoon was spent just hanging out at the house, after being up part of Saturday night. Hopefully we will get some pictures posted soon. Don Neufeld has been posting some on facebook & so has Paul Hunter.
