Preparation for Christmas


Food Storage - Lock downs, no water, no electricity are common here so food storage is important.  No worry about goods freezing but rats, bugs and spoilage are a challenge.  After a number of projects with limited success we developed the Ugandan method of dry pack canning.  4 liter paint cans sealed with wax. 



Every missionary companionship has their own supply of staples that do not require rotating.  Along with recipes for use.  Survival should be do-able.

She is cute and we love her.

We collected shoes and toys and clothes for Children in the village in Jinja

These Children have no shoes









We made up 150 bags of gifts for the children in the Village and delivered them the week of Christmas.






The day before Christmas the Kampala Missionaries joined together for a fun day 
of celebration.  We had games, pizza, and all you can eat chicken from the newly opened 
KFC.  The only bonafide franchise facility of any kind we know of in the country. 



Sister Hansen organized Minute to Win it Games








Get the cookie from the forehead and in the mouth and chewed and swallowed. 
Believe it or not - it can be done. 



Each missionary received a package with ties (or scarves) socks, treats, and a head lamp to see the big holes in the streets at night and to see when the power goes out, which is often.  We all had a good time and they were looking forward to calling home on Christmas Day. 
We have the greatest Missionaries.  
Merry Christmas
