Baking Christmas cookies with Judah and Samuel on my previous weekend in town. Nothing like the messy joy of cut-outs with young friends! :-)
Laundry and tent-cleaning! Seriously, I actually enjoy this. I listen to music and create a bit of order an otherwise unpredictable existence. I don't understand how so much dust and clutter can accumulate in a small space so quickly. Oh, and of course washing clothes takes a bit longer here. :-)
Sometimes I sit in my tent and read or study language. When that happens I'm often joined by Michael, and I let him play with whatever he won't harm.
A Frisbee, a football and soccer ball are good tools for building relationships with the children around here. Today a few of us from ACTS scrimmaged a local soccer club.
The one day I took my camera to the field. The kids totally swarmed it and wanted to see themselves in the display.
I'm glad I brought my guitar, which provides another option for free moments. Faith enjoys singing with me and modeling the guitar too.
At the beginning of November I saw what has to be the cleanest city in the world - Kigali, Rwanda. One Saturday each month all the shops close and everyone is required to go out and clean the streets. Amazing! I think our cities need to learn a few things.
A view of normally-crowded Kigali streets. They have just been cleaned, and only tourists are allowed to be moving around in the city until 1pm. 
Four of us Westerners decided to go find the edge of the Rwenzori Mountains national park. After two hours of fast hiking we saw the park (the dark color in the photo is the tree line of the park edge), but didn't have time to make it there. We climbed to the top of the highest hill instead, and topped out at 6500ft.
The beauty of this place is incredible.
Last week a spontaneous party emerged at camp. It included roasting maize (corn), a rousing game of cards, loud Christmas music, and dancing by Willis & Michael who were being watched intently by the village children through the camp gate.
