Two full weeks and one day in. Life is about to pick up quick. Monday we met with the primary school and discovered that Kami, me, is soon to be a not-so-renowned math and english teacher. Today, Chris met with the secondary school and will soon be teaching East African History, European History and English. He just ran out of the internet cafe to get back to the village for futbol practice that he is coaching. Our days of waking up slowly, yoga, studying, and playing with the kids all day are quickly disappearing. The holiday is over this coming Monday. Ugh. No pressure huh! Ha ha. Chris is very excited as my feelings are a little more like anxiety. But soon it will be great and you know I will be bursting at the seams.
Sam returned from Kanungu yesterday and we were so happy to see him! He left on Friday to go visit the girl's home, visit his wife, Dorcas, and see to the work being done there. Studying of Lugandan is coming along...let us just say it is coming along. We'll leave it at that. :)
We are getting closer and closer to each of the boys as the days go by. Every one of them are a giant little booger full of joy and life. They are willing to pour their love out to us with no reserves.
Today we jointly decided to bring in another boy by the name of Mowingo. He is such a bright kid that has been nothing but helpful since the first day we met him. Mowingo just lost both of his parents in the past year and has been going without food and being beaten by the girls he lives with. It didn't take very much thought to invite him to come to the home.
Chris and I are loving it here. Today we had pizza for the first time since leaving. I know I know, it has only been a couple weeks, but after eating potatoes, cabbage, beans, pinnapple, potatoes, potatoes, and rice for every meal everyday, our American diets need a bit of a spice up, if you will. Anyhoo, it was amazing. So glad you got to hear about it! :)
Thank you all for your constant prayers and support. We feel at home and very loved knowing your prayers are with us.
Love to you
