- The house in Uganda is AWESOME. It is much better than I expected. It is two stories with 5 bedrooms for 15 people. It has a beautiful view of the jungle in the backyard and it has an incredible view of a giant waterfall on the other side
- My team is awesome. I really love everyone here :)
- The kids are so cute! We were in town today and there were like 5 kids following us around, they would just giggle every time we looked at them
- We have an awesome cook at the house who makes us dinner. He makes African food, American food, Chinese Food and its sooo good!
- The African food is amazing. My favorite is Chipoti ( I think that is how you spell it...) which are basically Cafe Rio tortillas
- From the Airport in Entebbe to our house in Mbale was about a 4 hour drive. We got to see lots of Uganda. It was so incredibly beautiful. I just stared out the window the whole time.
- The cute kids call us Muzungus (which basically means White Person)
- Our country directors are really funny and awesome
- The money here is shillings, which 5,000 shillings is about 2 dollars. So it makes me feel rich when I drop 10,000 for lunch. No big deal.
- We ran into the LDS missionaries at the phone store today! Woot Woot! We will be working with them on some of our projects this sumer
The Bad
- There are no driving rules in Uganda. There are lanes, but they really mean nothing. You change as many lanes as you want, drive whatever direction you want, pass people, and hope there are not cars coming at you. It's quite scary.
- We are doing our laundry by hand. I haven't done it yet... but it should be.. fun?
- We only get two showers a week, one of them being with hot water.
- It is crazy humid here!
- We are definitely the only white people in town. So we get stared at a lot....
The Ugly
- We have some cockroach friends in our house.
- ME (after travelling for like 36 hours)
- The skirts I brought to wear here. I'm stylin for sure.
Having fun in Uganda! Major picture upload coming soon.
