Hey everyone. Life keeps moving on. The kids are loving their new clothes and shoes. Such a blessing! One of the best parts about being here for Kami and I is just to be on the viewing end of all the support and love people from other countries are showing for these kids. And especially to see the support from our families and friends has been made this such an affirming time in our lives. So Thank-you. Everyday we are here teaching gets easier. Our students understand us better, and we get to know them more. (They are finally getting my jokes.) Let's just say American and Ugandan cultures are as different as the accent we speak the language in.
This weekend we took trip to Kunungu in Southern Uganda. The beauty was unreal. At 6:30 AM, on one of the mornings, Kami and I climbed to the top of a mountain and watched the sunrise over the sweeping green hills covered in tea leaf fields and banana palm trees. I don't really have words to describe it, so I'll just say it was pretty sweet. We drove to the edge of the Impenetrable Forest where all the mountain gorillas live. Unfortunately, we didn't see any. (All the moms back home just breathed a sigh of relief) but we did get as close as we could. We didn't know you have to pay money because its a national park and so when they started crossing the path we were on, the person with us said we had to turn around. Man, I was bummed. We did see some pretty cool monkeys though. The kids are all healthy and happy. Every night they thank God for the sponsors in their prayers so know you are being prayed for. Thanks for all the prayers on the other end. We love you, and miss you.
