WHEN LIFE HANDS YOU LEMONS...

MAKE LEMONADE!

Living in Africa is not the same luxourious lifestyle that we have back home. In order to keep a positive attitude, I've decided that each time I come across a lemon, I'll just try to turn it into lemonade, haha.

Lemon 1:
The water shut off for 3 days...
At least we have running water. Apparently the team last year didn't and they used buckets the whole summer! Baby wipes were the greatest invention ever! It finally came back on and I got a wonderful shower!

Lemon 2:
Hand washing clothes is so much harder than it looks!
But I will no longer complain about Liberty Square's crappy/expensive washers again. They're a blessing from heaven! And my arms are getting ripped!

Lemon 3:
Nicole and I put mud on our faces like war paint the other day when we were building the adobe stove... all the Ugandans started snickering at us... apparently they only do that in their culture before a boy is going to be circumsized! OPPS!
HAHA, we got some great laughs out of that one!

Lemon 4:
Someone fed us Ensanene today (literally insane!)... aka grasshoppers!
Turns out they aren't too bad!

haha, well there's just a few of the funny ones... but advice for all... when life hands you lemons, make lemonade!
