Things are great here in Uganda! Honestly, things couldn’t be better. I have yet to see a snake, so praise the Lord for that. I have internet connection and can talk with my family on a daily basis. I switched my meds so now I am safe from malaria and have a stable grip on my emotions. 🙂 However, I am a mosquito magnet, so I could definitely do without that. But, it comes with the territory (literally).
Janelle is just about done putting together my schedule for the next few weeks, which includes leading touch-typing classes for students and staff, helping in the nursery, attending classes in the secondary school, sitting in on group counseling sessions, acting as a sort of librarian, and going to choir practice. I definitely have a plenty of activities to do for a while. Additionally, the tentative plan we have now includes me traveling with the Baylife team to Bobi, which is sometime around the 11th I think. So I have about 3&1/2 weeks to do as much as I can here!
We’ve finally figured out a good setup for me to have internet, so at least while I’m in Bweyale, I should be able to post when needed. After I move on, though, I may not have that much luck.
I think I’m really starting to get comfortable with the lifestyle here. I want to be with everyone at home and I’m desperately missing Chick-fil-A right now, but I think I can hold out until I come back. I’m finding a good groove, the students seem to like me, and God is really guiding me to fit into the way things work here. He is so present here. In everything that people do, they rely on God and always give the glory to Him, knowing that everything VOH has been blessed with are gifts from Him.
Pictures to come soon~~
