Sorry that I haven’t been able to do daily updates, internet and electricity aren’t extremely accessible here. I have officially been in Uganda for 2 weeks now and have 2 weeks left. The first two weeks were incredible but I know the next two weeks are going to be even more amazing! I am so thankful and so blessed that Shawna was able to come and experience Uganda and see the passion I have for this place first hand! We experienced some crazy things the first two weeks as well.
- We got chickens
- I washed my clothes (attempting to become a true African woman)
- I peeled matooke (a type of banana)
- I roasted corn over a charcal burner
- We were able to pray with families from the school
- We visited houses around the school
- We got chased by a hippo
- We were within 20 feet from an elephant! <— SCARY!!
- Shawna almost got chased by an elephant!
- We taught people the definition of Selfie and #hashtag
- We got to play games with the most amazing children!
- We went to an Ugandan giveaway and wedding
- We worshipped the one true God with people who speak another language and live across the world from America!
- I got a new nickname!
- I got to hold a one month old baby
- I prepared spaghetti for lunch on a charcoal stove
- I was in the nile river
We took Shawna back to the airport yesterday and then drove back to Mbarara through the night and today I was able to wash my clothes again and am resting, preparing to go to the school tomorrow to spend the remaining of my time loving on students and conducting a teacher workshop for the primary school teachers!
I am so blessed and can’t wait to see what God continues to do in my heart and my life!
Thank you for the prayers and support!
Love,
Nimurungi Jaimie Lynn Towns Village!
