This is a short post with not a whole lot of interesting happenings. I just feel the need to be actually caught up on my blog.
This past weekend, I made plans to have a movie night with my brother and in general just hang out with the family. Friday night, I got there and surprised my mom and all my brothers (accept the one who said lets have a movie night- I thought he told mom I was coming/he thought I told mom). This is where I know they love me, I basically just showed up unannounced and they were still excited. On Friday night, I got the invitation to join them at an expo in which they were showing their family business of the rabbit farming on Saturday. We left pretty early in the morning and I went to bed fairly early that same morning....I think I got like four hours of sleep.
I was secretary (wrote receipts for whatever someone bought) for all of fifteen minutes before everyone (myself included) realized that knowing Luganda would be of some help. Mostly I just hung out. However, I did learn that g-nuts and p-nuts are the same thing thanks to a different stand at the expo. This was pretty life changing information.
At the end I met some kids and we did cartwheels in the field by our stand. I got to hold some rabbits and hold kids, it was a afternoon well spent. We ended up leaving late for my curfew so after a few phone calls it was decided that I would spend the night again. The traffic on the ride back was not fun, mad props to my brother for having no road rage, I would have lost it. However, staying over night turned into another movie night, which lead to another late night. However, it was totally worth it.
On that note, I seem to have caught a cold. That might be partially because lack of sleep.
Regardless of the cold, I toughed it out and got off campus on Sunday with a couple friends and ended up meeting a couple more. I got sunburned and a cold all on the same day. It was a pretty fun adventure full of lots of laughter. Thankfully the traffic wasn't as bad Sunday as it was on Saturday night and we made it home safe and sound.
I LOVE reading your blogs and living the Ugandan life vicariously through you! It sounds like you are having an amazing time. I am so happy that God put this opportunity in your life and that you were brave enough to go for it.
