Geoffrey, our driver and eye glasses assistant at the medical clinics, and overall good friend invited us for lunch today at his home. From our experience in Uganda, a guest for dinner means a celebration and the more guests the bigger the celebration. So Geoffrey and Alice also invited their pastor friend, Robert, and his wife, Harriett. As usual when in the home of an Ugandan, we were treated like royalty. We were very pleased to find their two oldest daughters, Lydia and Lillian, there for the celebration, as well. Lillian has been my interpreter at all four medical clinics we've participated in.
Kathy introduced everyone to deviled eggs, potato salad, and avocado dip. I'm not sure how they liked these American dishes, but they said they liked trying new things.
After the meal, we were served a platter of fresh pineapple, watermelon, and apples plus Kathy's chocolate oatmeal cookies.
Following dessert, came a real treat for us; we got to deliver Geoffrey and Alice's TivaWater filter that had been donated to them by Danny and Mary Lawson Day who were a part of the TivaWater team that was here a couple of weeks ago. Geoffrey and his family have been using one of the original concrete bio sand filters that the TivaWater filter is developed from. He said he will be giving his old filter to another family.
After snapping pictures all around, we gathered for the traditional prayer before leaving Geoffrey and Alice's home....I love that tradition.
Thank you God for great friends on both sides of the world.
Blessings on you all,
Edd
