Hey family and friends! I’m so excited to share my stories when I get home! For now I just want to say that I’m settling in. This first week or so was really a struggle for me. I began t question if I made the right choice in coming here. I was really missing home and our western comforts. But then, on our last day of ministry in the village of Cataboy, we spent two hours at a local villagers home doing a prolonged version of the door to door ministry we’d been doing all week. I felt like we really connected with the people we were talking to! Later that day we had a...

Finally seeing how dreadfully slow this internet actually is here makes me question how lengthy my blogs will end up being, but oh well…here goes nothing. So we are in Africa. WHAT?!

I think that time truly passed when I woke up to the sound of monkeys everywhere, and then there was really no escaping the reality of it once we came in sight of the Nile. Not only did we marvel at it, we rafted down it! How many 18 year old girls can say that? Probably not many more than the ones on this trip. Anyway, I guess I should begin diving into...

Habari! I’ve been looking forward to blogging all week because of the excitement of sharing some of the amazing adventures I’ve already had here in Africa.  So far I’ve rafted the Nile, which I think is maybe one of the coolest things I will ever be able to claim to my name. It was slightly terrifying , but incredibly invigorating. Right now my team and I are sleeping in a school.  We do door to door ministry daily, but have also done children and discipleship seminars. The people of Uganda are wonderful. They are heartbreakingly welcoming, and have already...

HOLOTYA!   Cheesy, but that means hello in Ugandan… the spelling is questionable :/   These past 10 days have been one never-ending rollercoaster. From arriving at the Entebbe Airport to sitting at an outdated computer in an internet cafe in Tororo, Uganda-I hate to say it, but its becoming one beautiful blur. I don’t have a lot of time so I’ll make this brief.   As soon as we landed we experienced “Africa Time”…. oh, the waiting. At least a couple hours passed before we were once again on the move. And that’s when were...
