Kampala

Yesterday we had class and because we had the remainder of the day to do whatever, I went into Kampala (the capital of Uganda) and had a great day! First I had lunch... a salad and chicken alfredo. AMAZING! Then we went to the craft market, and I got a ton of stuff for family, friends, etc. So if you are my friend you'll be happy! I probably spent about 100 US dollars for stuff that would have cost 250-300 dollars back at home. Then I had dinner, and ate a fruit salad and a pizza with a couple of friends. Just an all around great day! AND there's a guy doing IMME (which means they stay at a home instead of on campus like I'm doing) and he's just had a really rough time so he's moving in with me and my old roommate moved out to a Ugandan's room. So if you ever pray for me, pray for my roommate 2x! He needs it. He's a nice guy, just having a difficult time. Thanks!

Jinja

Simply put - I found the Garden of Eden. It was by far the most amazingly beautiful place in the world. Hmm, I'm not sure if I have said anything about this. Well this weekend I went to Jinja (a city in Uganda) and we stayed at this place, which was practically a resort. If it wasn't for the malaria ridden mosquitoes, or the disease filled water, it would easily be top 5 places people visit. We went on the Nile river and we got to take some awesome pictures. I wish the internet wasn't so slow so I could post some for you, but I'm afraid that everyone will have to wait. Everything is so great, but please continue to pray for me/my family/my friends cause I mean who's ever heard of too much prayer?
