Still Here

Still a little tired from jet lag. Some of us anyway.

Also, apologies since we didn't bring a laptop and we're blogging all this  from a smartphone connected via dial-up internet connection.

Church today in Kanjanssi at New Life. Inside an actual building in somewhat of a slum district. Different here than from previous because 1) Kagedi didn't have a completed building, 2) here in Kajanssi it's urban, so all the houses are really close together and almost everyone has a wall with razor wire, even some houses had broken glass bottles on top of the walls instead of razor wire or barbed wire, 3) being in the city that has many foreigners traveling through it the spectacle of being a "mzungu" - or European-type traveler - is somewhat lost.

So the trip "feels" different than from my last two years being here. But that's Uganda - keep up with change because everything is changing.

Both Dave Eby and Aaron Fleming taught today. And we're planning right now for the Programs we're going to do at the primary (elementary) schools and secondary (junior high to senior high) schools for the next four days. AJ might be writing material for skits. I don't know if I should be scared or not.

Also, because Spencer and Rome and Daniel were too lazy to walk back to the Eby's house from a market they decided to ride some Boda-Boda's. And of course Rome and Daniel got the driver who didn't speak English. So when they needed to turn right to go to the Eby's, the driver said, "yes" - and continued to go straight. Needless to say, they were a little late getting back, and they still ended up walking back, just from a different direction.

And because you are by now tired of my postings, I hope to get someone else on here by tomorrow.

Grace and peace,
Matt W.
