Anyway, it’s been an experience so far. Last night, Donna and I stayed at a hotel that overlooks Lake Victoria. We got to go down to the shore of the lake in the morning, and then we headed to a grocery store before driving to Kampala to meet with Mike and Janelle. Now, we’re just chilling before dinner, so I thought I’d write something for y’all.<\/p>\n
I’m slowly but surely getting situated with where I am. It’s very weird, not traveling with a team. Also, it’s overwhelming at first to think that I won’t see my parents or Ashley and Brandon for over a month, but I know this isn’t permanent. I can’t let myself focus on homesickness and let the amazingness of everything around me slip by. That’s really what I need prayers for right now – that I truly find God’s hand in this situation and gratefully do my part without being distracted. I guess this is very good practice for college, since Liberty is nowhere near<\/em> as far as Uganda. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n I think once I get to VOH, I’ll feel more at home.
