early risers

today I woke up at 6am. only 30mins before the boys. they were not really active until 7ish but they were REALLY ready for breakfast by the time 8:30 rolled around!  I find it hard to believe that it is only 10:30 and I have 2hrs b4 the lunch-bath-nap sequence. They boys and I hand washed all our laundry from the last 2 days this morning in the bathtub.  that was great fun and also quite useful.  Johnny wanted to wear undies today and not a pull-up.  I think he can handle it. we will see how that goes. Grampa is playing with the boys blowing bubbles right now so I have a quick minute here.  I wanted to update you that DAD is getting a taste of Africa himself this trip so far he has preached in a local church and eaten lunch at the Ugandan pastor's home and then yesterday he went to Kampala on a boda boda and ate lunch at a local "restaurant" typical Ugandan food.  He also did some Bible study ministry in the home of a younger local couple yesterday. They work for the family we're staying with.  This Sunday he will preach again near Mukono at a place where the missionary we stayed with last time we came has lined up for him.  it is pretty neat how it is all working out for him as well.  The family we are staying with is SO great!!  It is amazing here at this house.  The housekeeper/cook is SO wonderful and she teaches cooking/housekeeping classes for young girls who want to be housekeepers/cooks for a family themselves so we have a staff of 5 girls who are preparing meals and cleaning up after us and making tea etc.  I/we will have some adjusting to do once we get back home!!
