Funny Things
Dear bloggies-
I have come to realize that my last few blogs have been very serious. And though seriousness is needed in life sometimes, I would say, and hope that you agree, that comedy is quite essential to the survival of human kind. So, in this blog, I will tell you about some of our funniest moments.
One day we were walking up the stairs to the roof where we occasionally hang out. Jalin was behind Kayla in the line and Kayla heard a thunk. Once we got to the roof and were off the stairs, Kayla turns around to ask Jalin, “Did you drop...
Maggots
Before I arrived in here, I had a few pre-existing expectations about Africa. One was that bugs are a common dish; you know, crickets, worms, and maggots. So far, I haven’t enjoyed this delicacy as much as I thought I would, but I definitely had some encounters, and unfortunately, they weren’t as culturally enlightening as I had hoped. Once, I decided to roast a giant grass hopper and popped it in my mouth. It was ok. My next experience wasn’t quite as ok; I wasn’t expecting it.
At Alpha Hotel, there are these trees that bear a fruit I have never seen...
change is a coming
I can’t believe my time in Uganda is almost up. Time has flown by, but then again, it feels like I’ve been away from family and friends for much longer than it’s been.

Dear Mister Waldo-
Thank you for all your hard work. You have served us well but we kindly request you to retire. Lets face it… you are not as young as you used to be. We understand that its not your fault but we would really like to not be stranded somewhere for hours because you need to catch a breather. We have had good moments but as time goes on there are some not so good ones mixed in there. Like pushing you to get you started, standing on the side of the street waiting for you to wake up, or not being able to go somewhere because you were not feeling up to it. We love...
Waldo Needs to Retire and Needs Our Help!
So, the ministry van, Waldo, at Alpha Resort Hotel is sick, old and wants to retire, but currently he has no younger van to take over his job. His sickness (besides being old) is frequent flat tires, a bad battery, many un-diagnosed problems that cause him to breakdown along the side of the road regularly, one of his doors doesn't shut all the time, and he's just plan falling apart.
Waldo, knowing his days are counting down like a time bomb, desires to be retired, and to take a super long rest, but with no younger van to take over, he can't. He has asked us to speak for him,...
