I made it to Uganda. Right now I am in a village called Masulita. It's a wonderful place!! The pastor's wife Robina is feeding us a ton of amazing food!! The sun is ridiculously intense, so I'm a bit burnt, heat exhausted, but still I'm having a blast! The fun thing is the kids that just stare at us. It's like being a celebrity. They don't see many mzungus (white people) so they just stare. All we have to do is smile and wave and they become all smiles! At first they surrounded us, and any time we turned, they inched closer until we were totally trapped. This morning a new group saw us, and Amber and I got dogpiled. That was freaky. We're just having fun playing with the kids and loving on them. They won't leave us alone, so naps are impossible. We laid down yesterday for a siesta, only to find little faces peeking through our window pointing and giggling. No naps for us poor tired jet lagged mzungus. We've hit a lot of little glitches, but God is good, and everything is working out. We had our first game last night - outside, projected on the side of the school. Not too many for the first one, but word will spread quickly. Tonight is the US / UK game and Derek is totally pumped. Should be fun, sounds like the Ugandans have fans on both sides of this match.
Keep the prayers coming, we need and appreciate them. Chau friends

Your mom cried when she found out you were okay and all is well! It's a 'mom' thing. I'm so happy you are having fun and being blessed by being a blessing to the kids. Yeay!!!
