Waking up in Africa

All is still good.  We have been pretty busy as of late.  I apologize for not keeping up with the blog.  Our Wi-Fi has also been shotty so it takes forever to upload pictures.

We saw monkeys the other day, so I was pretty excited about that! It is hard to believe I have less than a week left.  I am trying to enjoy every second of this remarkable adventure.

Still here


Hello everyone.  Still holding down the fort in Uganda.  The rest of Mission Team 5 went home last Tuesday. Of the 28 team members 8 of us stayed for another two weeks. We had the last three days "off" to rejuvenate till the next team started.

 I went white water rafting down the nile yesterday and had a blast.  One of the people on my raft ended up disolacating their shoulder even before we hit the first set of rapids! Hopefully I'll have picts soon that I can share. Wow, what an amazing experience.   It was nice to be a tourist for a day.

The next team flew in last night.  Like the first team, they are from all parts of North America.  There is twenty three of us total. It is a little weird getting used to a new team.  I think our last team was something special.  It is crazy how quickly you can connect with a group of people when you serve!  I am sure this next team will be special as well.

Today we visited two different homes for recovered prostitutes. The girls ranged from 12-18 yrs old.  The strength,  hope, and courage of these little ones was inspiring. Two girls had the patience to teach me how to play the drums.  We also had a wicked dance circle. I was able to bust a move pretty good. I am starting to feel pretty comfortable here.

Till next time.  Blessings,

Scott
