Bull Roast

Our visitors have finally arrived! On Thursday night we picked up the group of 7 from the airport, stayed the night in Entebbe, and brought them back to Masaka where they will stay with us until the end of the month. The group arrived just in time to take part in a bull roast that Paul set up for his workers as a Christmas celebration!

The bull has been living at the Timothy Centre for the past few weeks, eating grass and fattening up for the big day. Yesterday morning at 7am the bull met his demise as the workers slaughtered him, cut him into pieces, and cooked him in several different ways (roast, boiled, stew, etc.). The guys were right in there taking pictures of the poor animal as cruel things were happening to it - meanwhile I was quite happy to stay in the house.

Having our group of visitors for the event made the day extra special for the workers - some even showed up in dress pants and ties. Paul thanked the workers for their hard work and then prayed for them before we ate. They seemed to be very proud of the work that has been accomplished so far, and they also thanked Paul for his leadership.

Good times were had by all, and the meat was surprisingly delicious!

On a completely different note, we bought a new camera (sent from home by Paul's brother) which takes amazing pictures, but the pictures take 17 million years to upload. This one literally took all day. (Fine, not 17 million years, but close). So until I figure out how to upload without spending the rest of my life doing it, I'll have to hold off on the pictures. If you use your imagination I'm sure you can picture for yourself what a dead bull looks like...
