hey hey hey

Hello from Uganda!
Not much time to write this morning, but i just wanted to show a quick update on the last couple of days here.
Surprising the kids and all of the women here Wednesday morning......well it was insane how much fun it was.
I'm telling you, the joy that these people radiate is astounding.
There genuine excitement about someone returning to them, is something that I have never seen before.
Goodness, there is so much to learn from them about savoring the small blessings in life.
Before I go on a rant, just a little fill in from the days here.
We got moved into the house on Wednesday and everything is coming together! We finally got to unclog the shower this morning and i got to shower for the first time since i've been here. Gross....I know. But hey, what can ya do?
Still haven't gone market shopping or gotten a refrigerator or fixed the gas in the house, so pineapple passion fruit, juice, water, soda, and INSANELY DELICIOUS rice and beans cooked by the cook at Ekisa have been my staples these past couple of days and i'm loving it.
There's something refreshing, though, about fresh pineapple and tea in the morning though.
Seriously, something about this place is just refreshing.
OH and i'm going to buy a little bicycle today to get around with haha. Im excited about saving money on transport and i just think it will be a blast (the hills will be a challenge though) riding the bike around everywhere.

I am missing everyone from home like crazy! But also so excited and just at total ease being here with everyone.
After settling in for a couple days I am going to be starting my job and meeting with some pretty important people about things so prayers would be so appreciated.

I'm off to go feed my Deborah girl her snack! But more updates and pictures to come later.

p.s. lots of sick kids equals lots of medical expenses!
So if you feel so led to donate or just check out or cover in prayer this amazing home please visit www.ekisa.org

Much love :)
