Our house got stoned last night! We think it was just kids out having fun and causing a little trouble, nothing serious, but thank goodness we have an armed guard. Apparently I slept like a rock last night and did not wake up to it, but lots of the volunteers heard a loud bang in the middle of the night followed by the sound of our guard caulking his gun. Yikes! The other night I was out on the front porch after dark looking at the stars and writing in my journal. I was loving the small moment of peace and quiet, when Morris walked up to me and asked that I not sit there when he wasn't around. Someone might throw rocks at you. Haha, serious Morris? No one's going to throw rocks at me... well, I'll take him seriously now! Don't get freaked out or anything, I promise I'm safe. Public transportation and walking along the highway is probably my biggest threat because the drivers are reckless here and don't stop for pedestrians, but I still wouldn't mind your prayers!
Public Transportation:
Alex and I had a wonderful experience riding on the public taxis to Kiyunga yesterday, haha. We were very grateful to have Immanuel or his brother escorting us, so we felt safe the whole time, but we weren't necessarily comfortable. They pack those vans so stinking full! The max capacity says 14 persons, but one of ours definitely had 21+2 babies+1 chicken. We were packed like sardines in a can! haha, oh Africa! We got really close to some Ugandans that hour!
Gotta Love It!

Hey Megs! I'm so proud of you. Its fun to hear you talk about learning some PT stuff. Bret has been talking about it a lot too. I want to learn! I want to do SOMETHING. Right now I wake up, go running (its so much easier here - warm and less altitude!), eat, search for jobs, search for lampshades, eat, search for jobs, and craft. Not BAD, but not very exciting. Thanks for documenting your adventures so I can at least read about exciting things! Love you!
