28 days!?

Sorry that I haven't written in a while with the internet not being up lately and being very busy I just couldn't find the time to get onto my blog but here I am. So I have 28 days left and I can't believe it. It seems so weird that I have already been here five months. Time really now is flying. I had a great time with Ron while he was here and I got to do some things that I probably wouldn't have if he hadn't come. One thing that was unforgettable was our trip to Kisumu to visit Josh and Rachel because the bus ride there was the bus ride from hell! We were told by Pastor Peter that It would take 4 hours. Since I knew that it took 4 hours to get to the border I was planning on a six hour trip. Well 8 hours later we landed in Kisumu in probably the worst part of town at around 11pm. Thankfully there was a man who owned a little snack shack that took us in until Josh got there and picked us up. Ron said that he would leave that part of his trip out when he talk to mom and dad but I think he told them anyways. In Kisumu Ron and I picked up Brea and brought her back to Uganda and we had such a great time. Brea and I ate chocolate and watched a movie every night and it was really really good to have a friend for a week. We went to the second biggest mosque in Africa and when a lady at the gate saw Brea she just freaked out. Brea had to be covered up because Islamic women cannot wear pants or show there shoulder which she decided to do both that day. Anyways it was one of the most beautiful places I have ever been to and the whole time we were there I was in awe. I got to take them to Bethany village. I know that God answered my prayers and that Ron really fell in love with Africa. The last couple of weeks I have been doing odd jobs around ARMS but have been staying busy. I got to go to the North of Uganda to Gulu (If you have ever seen Invisible Children you will know that city) for what they call Campus Megafest. It was amazing we saw around 70 people get saved and many students recommit their lives to Christ. My purpose for going was to be the photographer and I took about 300 or more pictures but it was at night so many of them turned out blurry. But I did get some good shots so all is good. We got back into Kampala at around 6am the next day and so I have been trying to get back onto some sort of good sleep schedule ever since then and am still trying. All in all things are going good I just can't believe that in 28 days I will be flying into the Seattle airport and I will get to see Mom and Dad again. Also I can't believe that I now have a niece that is 15! Happy Birthday Jame' and Happy belated Birthday Caedmon (sorry I didn't call I didn't have your new number on me). I love you and miss you all but will see you in 28 days.
