We have really grown to love the village of Masese (Mah-sess-E) and refer to it as our adopted village. This week when we dropped off beans for our Friday lunches we brought a big stack of white paper and crayons for the kids. The kids were pumped about a plain piece of paper and a single crayon! Many of them drew pictures like a cup, a pot, or a house. They were so proud to show us their drawings. We served lunch on Friday and again, it was super successful. We had plenty of food for all of the almost 400 children (66 pounds of beans with tomatoes and onions, 200 chapati and 20 gallons of juice). Each week we are able to handle the crowd better and we are really starting to be able to have fun during it...rather than shouting and stressing like it used to be. The line flows nicely now and we like to think we look like a "feed my starving children" commercial. It's been a huge blessing getting to know the people of Masese and we look forward to visiting every time.
