Went to Church in Mbale today! It was incredible. I loved it. We took Bodas (motorcycles) into town. That was an experience. Ha. There are two of you that hop on the back of this motorcycle ( no helmets or buckles of any kind mind you) and also it is impolite to hold onto your driver. So I just held onto Carlee ( who sat behind me) and hoped that I wouldn't fall off from all of the potholes. Ha. A little scary but fun. All of the people at church were so kind and loving. All of them came and shook our hands and were so excited we were there. Most of them had to walk 5 miles or more to get to church. And one of them brought 5 friends to church. I was amazed at how many of the young men had been baptized within the last year and were already starting mission papers. The children were so adorable and so intrigued by us. I held a baby during sacrament meeting, and a 3 year old during Relief Society. I loved it. These people have so little, but they are some of the happiest people I have ever met. I LOVE the fact that the church is the same everywhere we go. Here there are a lot of really new members and investigators, so the lessons were pretty simple. I loved the feeling of being reminded of the basics of the gospel. The church is true, that is just it. Wether in a smelly hot room in Africa, or a nice air conditioned church-house worth millions of dollars in Utah.
P.S Everyone is on the internet right now so I can't upload pictures at the moment, but they are coming soon.
P.P.S Happy Mother's Day! Love you Mom
