Love+faith=differentworlds: Our home.... for the next few weeks at least.

I realised the other day we still hadn't put up any pictures of where we live - we have just been so busy travelling all over looking for land and going back and forth to Kampala to do paperwork for registration.

We are incredibly thankful for our new friends who we met through looking for land - they are a godly christian couple who just happe to have a spare little boys quarters ( like granny flat) so we have been saving money by staying there when in the city - and HIlda is a great cook too :)

But here are some photos of our little house in Mityana where we live..

Its a smallish town - very basic.

We lose power most days but thankfully not as much as Lira town where we lived before and we havent lost water once :)

We live in a compound - there is three other homes but they are all under construction and we are the other tenants - there is one other beautiful old JAJA ( grandmother) who lives in the compound who is the landlord's mother and is caring for the place until all the construction is done.

Her mentally handicapped daughter is also with her and she is lovely.

Jaja loves us being there and loves hezekiah and crys when we talk about the fact we are only there for a few months.

She brings us yummy fresh food from her village and her farm..... and she is so funy.... constantly trying to find rob a job locally and trying to convince her kids ( the landlords) to lower the price of rent so we stay :)

We only have a few weeks left here but we have enjoyed our time in this place but its not somewhere we would live long term - feel like we are in a bit of a prison in this compound and so noisey and on a very busy road!!

We have no furniture so still living very basic as we made decision it would be too difficult to move things - rob is currently working on a dining table at least though so that will be helpful with meal times - :)

Dinner time on the floor :)

Ours is the one with the gate open - the rest are all still under construction - the construction work is noisy and not always safest place for baby - but ziah loves the work men and they love making him laugh as they work ....

You can see big black bags in front of our house - thats just some of the washing waiting to be washed after we try and kill bedbugs in the sun

OUr bed and ziah's tent...we now have a mosquito tent up around us and ziah sleeps with us as his little tent is too humid and hot

We have a flush toilet - no shower and no hot water just a wash area and tap but its good - thankfully ziah loves cold baths ;

Our living area - and where we eat and everything else

hand washing is much more difficult with a baby - so we now do it outside in the compound where ziah can at least play in another bucket of water.
He loves to suck the wet clothes ??????

The endless weeks spent washing and cleaning our things from storage that had bed bugs in it - meant this little man spent a lot of his jetlag on mummys back
