Food and Weight
As you all know, I could stand to lose a few pounds. Well Uganda has the answer for me. Open-air Butcher shops. The meat (beef or goat) just hangs from a hook in the ceiling or lays on a wooden table. This is usually in a outdoor market. In my case it is at an outdoor market, but right next to the taxi park. How convienent. I don't think I have it in me to slaughter my own chicken. SO the only logical answer to this is NO MEAT!!! There are all kinds of vegetables around that I love. Potatoes, carrots, greens, cabbage, etc. So, I will focus my attention on them. I am learning new dishes as we speak. However- the fish choices are awesome. Tilapia, Nile Perch, Mud Fish. I will be able to enjoy them as well. So, hopefully here comes my drastic weight loss and a healthier life. Finally!!!

Hey Renee,
I am so happy that you are enjoying yourself. My bebe's and I are doing just fine. I have been doing at least 80 sit ups every night and walking twice a week because "K" says I am gaining a lot of weight (I'm in a size 9/10 tight). Good luck with the vegetables, but they are wonderful for your health, so you will be just fine. We miss you much and I am going to keep you in my prayers. Love ya!!!!!!!

Hi!
What a surprise to hear from Aunt Lillie!smile
You are really brave to undertake such a big task. I admire you and wish you the best. Arthur's nephew, Derick Costin, is in North Africa with the missionaries. We haven't heard from him yet.
Whenever you getyourself together I would like to develop a pen-pal relationship with your students/families and my third students at North Ridge. We did this many years ago and the children here and Ghanda(??) enjoyed the communication. Let me know if this is something you would like to do.
I hope to hear from you soon. God bless you and good luck.
Love and peace,
Aunt Lil

Hey Renee, Oh my goodness open-air butcher is alot to deal with. We really have it easy over here. Thanks for keeping us updated in your life.
I cannot imagine seeing an open-air butcher (and the smell)! I guess I am too "Americanized". At least you are able to eat fish. Good luck with you new healthy eating lifestyle. I need to take some lessons on that. Am I correct in saying that you have to use the bathroom where you shower? I guess you can do both at the same time...LOL..and save time. Got any recipes for me? Is the lizzard your pet? :-} You can name it and he/she can protect you from the frogs...LOL..Okay. Let me stop teasing you. You know I Luv Ya and God does too. I will be shipping your items to you soon.
Hi Na Na,
We're very happy that you are doing well. Uncle Paul is in his cottage preparing the meats he will be cooking for Christmas dinner. I cannot send you any of the food because it will spoil before it arrives. So I guess we will eat it and be thinking about you (smile). I know you're saying to yourself"That's not funny", and of course you're correct.
Dad and Mom are also doing good. We took mom to church Sunday and she was looking GOOD.Na Na you take care of yourself and remember that we LOVE You.
We will be sending you a package very soon.
Love You
Aunt Carolyn
