GOMESI IN BUSIA UGANDA

February 23, 2014
We went to Busia for Leadership Training and 
Seminary and Institute Training and we had a 
good group that came.
We were just going for the one day so after the meetings 
Sister Robai took us to Busia, Uganda which is just 
over the border from Busia, Kenya.
We had received permission from the 
Mission President so we could walk over the border.
From the area known as no man's land in Kenya 
looking toward Uganda.
I was told that a GOMESI was the item that was 
the most Ugandan so we purchased fabric from 
a shop on the street.
That is a LOT of fabric!!
And of course we needed the under cloth and the BELT
do we shopped at another shop.
Along the way we had a taste of JACK FRUIT from
some people who were enjoying it on the side of the street.
We stopped at a tailor shop (on the street) and was measured
and questioned and we bargained a price and the 
tailor made the GOMESI for me.
A fitting was in order,
Sister Robai, Sister Moon, The Tailor
Leaving Uganda. This is Busia Uganda looking toward
the Uganda No Man's Land.
The pink shirts are on boda boda drivers.

No Man's Land toward Kenya.
Into Busia we helped the missionaries with several 
items then we went to Kisumu.
At home in Kisumu teh nexr day we had to have a showing for 
Sister Namugaya. She showed me how to put on the 
under piece and the head wrap.
She is from Uganda.
All "dolled up" with Sister Chipfumawiti.

So thankful to be able to go to Uganda and get a dress!!
