Hello! So I’ve been noticing this whole trip what a hassle it is to keep up with these dang malaria pills. Spilled them in the dirt. Lost them. Makyla found them. Spilled them in my backpack. Lost them. Found them. Wrestled them back from an African as he tried to throw them away. Spilled them in my purse. BUT I still have them in my possession and haven't missed a day! …A full day.    Anyways, we got back from Nairobi about a week ago, and it was definitely a nice, weird break. Weird because it almost seemed like the U.S. at times. We ate quesadillas and insanely...

Since returning from Kenya our team has been struck with the realization that we have exactly five weeks left in the country of Uganda. Five weeks. Four plus a few days if you consider the fact that we will leave Lira a few days before we fly out for our final team debrief. While I look very forward to seeing all of my friends and family again. Coming to terms with the limited amount of time that we have left for ministry in this country is a sobering experience. In recent news…we've been put into new groups for ministry during the week. I am partnered with Sarah and Jordan....

I’ve mentioned in some previous posts the relationship we’ve built with the Jehovah’s Witness family – especially the grandma – Costida.  We’ve been having some discussions about Jesus and the Holy Spirit with her and another family member, James, but two weeks ago we were going to to stop in for just a few minutes to say hello and talk with her about life – letting her know that we care about her beyond just our discussion visits.  When we visited, however, she was in no mood to chat and seemed really agitated that we came to talk...

Well it is April everyone! Only a few weeks left here in Uganda. Kenya was a nice time! Ate a lot of food that was highly Americanized, got to see friends from the other Africa teams and hang out with them. Got to premiere the ChickenHawk Video to the people there. Don’t worry, it will be available for the public when I get home in May. So be patient : ) Also got to see Giraffes if you haven’t seen the pictures yet.

Hello.   This has been a week of “taking one for the team” manifesting itself in the form of eating lots and lots of food to spare the feelings of sweet Africans. Interactions typically go something like this: “Ah! You do not like posho?” “Oh…no…It’s delicious…I love posho…” “Ah! Why you no eat?? You want to eat??” “Oh…anyone want some more posho? :D” *rest of the team averts eye contact* Cool guys. “First you eat. Your stomach will be big like mine when you go back to...

Once again it has been an amazing week here in Uganda! Something I've learned about living in a third world country; the highs are high and the lows are low. I could sit here and tell you about the low times, the times of sadness, disappointment, loneliness, ect. But the truth is, talking about them and dwelling on them, won't change anything. So instead I want to share with you a few of the highs! High number one came in the form of a road trip. In case you don't know- I LOVE roadtrips! There is just something about driving down the road, music up and windows down! There is a...
