Before I left the states I was really blessed by so many people. So from the bottom of my heart thank you to all of you who have listened to my stories about Uganda, who have prayed over me and continue to, and who have supported me financially. I still can not believe that I am here and am so blessed to get to share this experience with all of you.
Tuesday morning before I left one of my friends with her two little girls came over to see me. I was blown away by her 4 year old daughter who made a card for me AND gave me a book that she has been reading (which is one of her favorites!). She gave me this book because her mom had told her that I was going to go to Uganda to help little kids learn how to read. If that isn't the most precious thing ever I don't know what is!!
Thank you for all of your prayers! We made it here safely and with all of our stuff! :) The first flight I took I got to talk to a guy who works for some African country's government (I say some African country because he told me and I could never really understand what he was saying). Anyways it was really cool because he told me a lot about African history and we talked about the LRA and Kony. He's working to try and put an end to Kony and him abducting children to be soldiers. He had just met with some NGO's in Washington D.C. as well as some people on Capitol Hill. It was just a great way to start my trip :) The rest of the trip I watched movies and attempted to get some sleep and I think I was a little successful with that. We got to the house around 11:30 pm last night. It's really nice! I'll upload some pictures soon.
