Calm before the storm

This week has been much calmer than most of the other weeks. I don't have terrible much to say.

I was incredibly blessed to not be sick this past week as so many of my social work friends. There are ten in my class and if I'm right I believe only two of us did not get sick. I was blessed to be one of the healthy ones, many thanks to my prayer warriors at home! I was sick during the first couple of weeks, but I'm so thankful it was literally a 24 hour bug and I was back to "normal" the next day.

This past week was full of meetings at ROTOM in which I learned how to take minutes. AKA I learned that being a secretary or a transcriber is most definitely not my calling. I learned a lot about the company and what goes into being a nonprofit.

Today (Sunday) was a very chill day with my family. I went to church and hung out at home. Unfortunately, a lot of the clan was busy and out of the house today. However, the one of the best parts of having a large family is there's still lots of people to love when people are gone. One of my brothers took me to see all the rabbits and I got to hold a baby rabbit that was literally born this morning.

Next week promises a very busy schedule- midterms are due (crazy right!?!), I'm heading to Kampala to get my visa and on Friday, I am leaving to rural home stays.  This is basically the equivalent to our spring break- I will have no classes or readings during this time. I will be living with a family for about 6 days in rural Soroti (the east part of Uganda).

Prayer Requests:

• Pray for midterms. There is a lot of papers due next week
• Pray for the family that I will be living with. I am so blessed by my Mukono family- pray that I have an experience just as amazing in Soroti.
• Pray for the health of the girls who got sick and pray that the rest of us continue to be healthy (especially over rural home stays).
