The Ugandan portion of the Paech family (to varying degrees) are avid composers, singers and dancers! In this video, the family sings a worship song called "Mukama Yaminyi" which means "It's only God who knows". Apart from English, Luganda is the most widely spoken language in Uganda, and this native tounge is what the family sing this song in.
P.S. Aggie wrote this song!

OH MY GOSH! I miss these faces and these voices so much! Simon, thank you for doing the videos. It makes me so "homesick" to be there. Please tell everyone hello. And pray with me that God will make a way for me to come at Christmas time. That is what I'm hoping for.
By the way...any chance you'd make a video of Sarah and send it??? I'd give anything to see her and the kids.
Greet everyone at church for me. Tell that to pray that I can come.
Wow I am massively impressed. Their voices are amazing and the song is wonderful. I think if you stuck this and a couple of others on a CD you could see them here in the states and raise money for you and your family there. I would definitely look into it if I were you. Once again let me say I love it.
Wow, Simon! That was a beautiful song. Thank you for sharing your wonderful family with us. Please greet Aggie for Andrea and myself: http://dlamarhawkins.smugmug.com/photos/353871093_hs2pA-M.jpg
