Catch Up

It's been a few days, let me try to catch up a little. Yesterday and today were busy. 

Yesterday I went to the school and taught literature with Sarah, and that went well. The kids were so smart, so it was fun to interact with them and pick their brains. Then Sarah and I picked up lunch and came home (and watched Dead Poets Society which was SO good and reminded me of Mrs. Horlings all over the place) until our meeting we had last night at the Davis' house. It was basically planning out what our last week here in Uganda would look like. We're going on the game drive the 22nd through the 24th. PUMPED! And then we talked about going to Kisoro, which is in the Southwest part of Uganda for that last weekend. But as Sarah and I were talking after our meeting, we both felt pretty passionate about going up to Gulu. There are many refugee camps there and is one of the major places that was affected by Joseph Kony and the war. Even though Kony and his army have moved to the Congo, they are still greatly affected, and as Brian put it, even though Kony is in Congo, the war is still going on in Gulu. This war is what first put Africa on my heart, especially because of the child soldiers, so it is a great opportunity to go there.

Then today I met with a girl from church, and then Diana and I went into the hostels to do some follow up with people we had met with last week. I went back to the room occupied by Benny Hinn mega fans, and we had some intense conversation. It's those kind of conversations that I never feel adequate enough. But I think those are times when God can really use us, because he is more than enough. And its humbling, and an encouragement to study more and know the Scriptures better. This is real life, and this is what counts. And there are some things as a result of the conversation that I really need to wrestle with and try to understand better, and thats a good place to be. 

Then I went back to the school after outreach and taught art, and then I came home, took a nap, and went to the Davis' for pizza movie night. We watched Newsies. It was great. And tomorrow is my day off, so I am going to the pool, and then going to the Uganda v. Tunisia Rugby match with Nate and Sarah, then language lessons, then Lotus Mexicana - Ugandas only Mexican Restaurant. I do love Mexican Food.
