June 12, 2011


Sunday brought some much needed rest and I was able to start a book, Matterhorn, which is turning out to be pretty good. I decided not to attend church this morning but will probably go next week.

I did say that there is not a boring day here, but today was touching that line. I am not saying I was bored but I don’t think anything epic happened. It was rather a cold day and I am actually wearing a long sleeve and pants now. Crazy I know, this place has been everything but cold up until now.

I talked to this boy, Emma, today about him getting a visa to get into America so he could get surgery on both of his hips. This kid is a champion for the pain he has and still is enduring. It isn’t a very easy process for men from Uganda to get visas into America. Hopefully he will have one by Tuesday though and he can get into our country to get the much needed operation done and over with. Emma is a very awesome individual and I hope all goes as smooth as possible for him.

Another boy I am becoming better friends with one named Joe. He is actually a little older than most of the kids but I certainly enjoy his company. He is pretty quiet but seems to always be dressing very nice. I let him keep my sunglasses safe today while I played futbol. He rocked em pretty well.

I am feeling that this upcoming week will bring a lot of hard labor either on the farm or at Musana so hopefully that all goes well. I am getting more and more comfortable in this extravagant country. The dirt and funny smells everywhere aren’t bothering me as much.

Cheers to the upcoming week, hope all at home are well.
