Hello everyone! We are winding down our time here in Uganda. We leave Lira a week from this Friday. From here we will head to Jinja for a few days to do some white water rafting and to wind down a bit. Then from Jinja we will drive to Entebbe for our flight back to the states. It’s sad that it is so close to being over but we have had a great time here and have done so many amazing and fun things and have made relationships with the most amazing people.
Lira is a place I’ll never forget and I hope that I can return again someday. The weather has been hot for the most part but now that rainy season is here it rains nearly everyday and gives us some refreshment from the heat that we had earlier in the trip. Everyone you meet here treats you like an old friend. Everyone has been so welcoming to us when we come to visit them, (probably cuz were white) it has been so nice. We’ve had our hands in so many ministries too, it has been really awesome. I won’t even attempt to try to name them but some of my favorites have been with Atin Afrika & Child Restoration Outreach. They are the two street kid ministries here in Lira that are doing an amazing job at helping these kids get back on their feet. The other of course has been the Rugby team, being on a team and gettin some guy time has been really good for me. I have also enjoyed going to hang out with a group of students from Sudan on Tuesday nights. They are a really awesome group of kids and are just so fun to teach and hang out with.
There are so many things we have done here that I can’t even try to begin to describe but it has been such a great experience and I thank everyone so much who helped me get here. So thats all I have for now. I don’t know if I’ll blog next week or not but I am looking forward to seeing everyone and getting the chance to tell you all my stories!
God Bless,
Jordan
