Today is Sunday. Both here and at home presently as I write this note. It is evening here, but morning back home. After church and lunch as I am doing today, I usually sit at home and relax.
Today, it felt like a fall day at home in Colorado. The wind was blowing steadily and it was cool. It has remained cool all day. Kinda weird for Uganda.
I have been training and orienting a young lady from Australia to take over as the Volunteer Coordinator until December. Praise God for her. It is wonderful for us that she agreed to stay on and take that responsibility. With my other duties and my position as medical officer, it took so much time. I do have to admit, I loved doing it, despite the time it took. Wearing two full time hats was really starting to wear me out. She is doing a splendid job and I am able to concentrate on taking care of every one's health and medical.
We have a stomach bug circulating Jinja right now and it has NOT seen fit to pass us by unharmed. It is making its way around the children, and adults. I think though we are finally starting to pull out of it .Still pray for us here at Amani Baby Cottage. Pray for my back and neck as well. I have had some pretty bad flareups of my fibromyalgia lately. It makes it hard to do what I am called here to do.
Blessings dear ones. I thank God for you and Praise Him!!~!

Hey Siouxanne

It's cousin Beth Reems.I feel jealous that you get to go home,even for a while.I pray that Walter gets healed from his cancer.I can't stand when children suffer so much.It makes me cry every time.I joined AVON.I wonder if there is a way to a fund raiser for Uganda.AVON is big on fundraising,even for our military at war.AVON is the leading corporate supporter of the breast cancer cause.I have no idea of the steps of a fundraiser.Maybe I can find out about fundraising for Uganda.You are doing a wonderful job there Siouxanne.Hope to see you in Colorado someday.I miss the fall in Colorado as well.Miss family the most though.Talk to you later.
Love Beth

P.S. Mitch had fibromialgia for six years.He said if you are using nutrisweet or drinking diet sodas,that is a huge no no.He quit it all and is doing great.
