I just got back from our final Envisioning Week event. We all came together for a traditional Kigandan meal (the "K" makes a "Ch" sound, so it is pronounced "Cheegandan") We all sat on mats and ate with our hands...who knew that eating with my hands would be so difficult. It was quite an experience to say the least. And also, none of us could talk during the meal, so I was a little bewildered about what to do.
Now that Envisioning Week is done, I will finally start my job tomorrow. I am meeting with some people tomorrow and will be getting started planning for the ND team that will be arriving on February 4th.
Before I meet with the people about my job, some of us will be going to the Vocational Institute to watch one of the boys weave fabric. If only I had seen the weaving before I had taken my Textiles class...but now I have a real appreciation for it.
It was pretty warm today. It is 10:10 pm right now and it is about 81 degrees, so you can imagine how warm it was when the sun was in full form.
I can't believe it has already been 8 days since I got to Uganda. I think the 4 months that lie ahead of me will be gone before I know it.

Hannah...sounds like things are going well. Aunika turned one on Sunday and we had her dedicated at church where she produced many noises while up front in front of everyone....wish you were there, but we know the Lord has great things planned for your time in Uganda...keep serving him...we are praying
It's good to hear that somebody has listen to the presidential law, "No singing or speaking at the table." At least I prepared you for it. You're welcome.
Haha Hannah I have to agree with you! Not being able to talk during a meal would be extremely weird and well....you know me I would go crazy! I must say I am jelous of your weather!!! Enjoy!
I can't imagine eating with your hands. We are so taught to use utensils. I also can't believe you made it through a whole meal without talking! Thats very impressive. I miss you my friend but I hope everything is going well. I'm praying for you and I love you lots!
