​This morning started bright and early at 5am for the long awaited ‘monkey mountain’, which was previously postponed by prayers for rain (thanks jo)

The peace observed as we started our journey was beautiful - the bustling streets of wairaka were deserted in morning darkness. After a fair hike with a gradually increasing incline, the most stunning view was revealed before us. The lights of Jinja town sparkled before the rising sun, as vast green padlocks and red roof tops slowly became visible. Josh led worship as we took in the view, and a prayer for Uganda was said before we head back to subi house for a delicious break of Rolex’s and chapattis.

After brekky we headed off to YSU, but after getting the raw end of a deal we ended up passing bricks for an hour to fill the back of a truck (in return for a lift to YSU). By the time we finally arrived, we literally worked for maybe a total of 30-45 minutes. Despite this, it’s been amazing to see the walls of the units we are working with the locals to build rise day by day. With dusty red hands and muddy legs, Juliette served us a lunch of her classic fresh roles and slaw!

On the bus we busted a jam to some Nicki, Iggy and all the in-betweens as we drove to the pool where we played with the kids from the Village of Hope! After some splashy splash time in the pool, we went to into town where we competed against the finest of the seekers in skirt shopping and bought all the things we could get our hands on. Another bus ride but this time to our final restaurant din dins. Papa Joh, said some words that made us tear up but maybe that was just me, after the feast of a life time. Meat meat meat was on everyone’s mind but again, that might just be me hehe.

Goodnight we say from the team and Jennettes.

Jennette sightings: 10
Cludo deaths: nil
Jo’s babies: 2

Peace out homies
