Family Time
Nestled on the border between Rwanda and Uganda is Lake Bunyonyi. (Bunyonyi means place of small birds). It is a place of interesting history as twice a week the Batwa have a market on the lake side. The Batwa are the forest people that other like to call Pygmies.
Years ago one of the islands was home to a colony of lepers helped by a missionary. The island we were camping on was where they grew food to feed the colony. One of the islands was also where women, who had children without being married, were taken and left.
The locals get around in dugout canoes.
The first night Cheryl had some quiet time while staying alone with Silas in the family cottage. I took Kinley, Alex and Isaac to the other side of the small island and we slept in a big tent.
What a beautiful place!
Silas loves camping out!
Cheryl and Kinley enjoying each other.
Isaac says, "I'm a frog!"
Alex is a great big brother to Isaac.
It was fun to get away. We had communion and a devotional around the camp fire. We sang and sang. The rest of family went to bed but Isaac asked if he could stay up with his Dad and wait for the fire to go down. It was a special night with the family. What a great bunch of kids!

Ok you Cash’s
I must tell you that you are an inspiration. I am just getting started with the family thing and it “feels” hard here in the States. It is surely an inspiration to watch you “minister” to your family and to watch your family minister to one another. God bless you.

What a beautiful family! God is so good!!
We enjoyed your blog and getting updates on your family this way. It sure does make us miss you.
By the way, Matthew said that a guy came to his room a few weeks ago to visit his roommate. Before he left he noticed Matthew's family pictures on his desk. He stared and stared at the Cash family picture. He asked what Matthew was doing with a picture of the Cash family. Matthew explained that Jeff is his cousin and then the guy said he's a member at Glenwood. He said we pray for the Cashes at every service! Small world.
Grace and peace, Diane
