Good friendships in the local deaf community

12.10.09
In the relative safety of being under our mosquito net I feel more comfortable to write. Its pitch black except for this screen. Adam is with Laurence writing a letter under the subdued light of a kerosene lamp. Oh for solar power. We will really value it when we get it.


Come and meet our Pastor, Allan, of St. Philips Arua
Allan who was ordained during Adam’s last visit to Uganda in November. Adam made good friends with him. Two weeks ago Adam and I were privileged to attend Allan’s and Asha’s wedding. It was a wonderful experience. Allan is deaf and partially sighted. His wife has full vision and full hearing,- a great asset to Allan. The newly weds are joining us for lunch on Saturday.

Allan is also our Pastor. Since being ordained he has lead the weekly deaf service at St Philips. A week last Sunday we attended this service and it was so joyful. The simplicity of the service made it very accessible to hearing and deaf alike.
