Thursday afternoon saw KCM organise a special luncheon and farewell for us at the Kyampisi Church... the only problem was that they forgot to tell us about it.
We arrived a little early for the proposed soccer game at 5pm to find that the community had commenced an early Bible Study (at which I was supposed to be preaching) and had all but finished a special luncheon in honour of the Bensley family.
I happily contributed to the Bible Study (as I was expecting to be asked to do this). As I finished, Peter S called us forward as a family and lead the formalities.
Following Peter's words of affirmation, Hudson (father of Allan) and Nalongo (leader of the newly established Kyampisi Women's Ministry) each gave a testimony to our efforts and generosity.
Peter then invited us to respond, which Sonia and I did. Hannah was also keen to say a few words.
Following some words from the Bible and prayers from both Peter and I, members of the church came forward and gave us gifts and cards.
Given the lateness of the hour, many who were there needed to leave for the soccer game. We stayed back for a little while, ate the meals graciously kept for us and enjoyed fellowship with those who could stay.
It was a lovely afternoon, it was just a pity that we missed our lunch! TIA.
