The simple things in life :)

Ok, this will probably be the most random post ever, but I am so excited right now, I am just going to type all of my thoughts! :-P
So, first of all, my bible study is amazing! The girls are so excited about it all the time, and love reading the bible. Everytime I ask them a question they all want to answer! It's so encouraging to see these girls who have been through SO much so excited at a simple bible study! A couple days ago, we finished and as the girls were walking out of the room one of them started singing, " It's the start, of something new, it feels so right to be here with you...." I immediately got very excited, recognizing that they were in fact singing High School Musical! :-P haha. Normally, I am not the biggest fan of High School Musical, but I make exceptions when I'm in Uganda ;-) So long story short, we broke out into singing and dancing to High School Musical, it was great!

Something else that is really encouraging is when the teachers start fighting over you because they all want you to come teach in their classes! haha. Makes me feel good :) My last class was with Primary 7 (7th grade)... this week I am working with a Primary 6 class! It makes my day everyday to go to the school and teach them, cause they feel so accomplished when they understand the material, and I feel so good, when the get it too.

I've made so many great friends here as well who I know I will miss SO much when I leave :( Almost everyday after school I go to my friends Jackie and Ida's house and they almost always insist on cooking me lunch! :P I go to a bible study with them on Tuesday and Friday nights. I've gotten really close to Jackie. She is my age, and just finished our equivalent of High School...so we can relate in many ways!

I believe sometime next weekend we are going into Jinja, and that is where I will go white water rafting on the Nile! I am sooooooooooooooooo excited, it is gonna be crazy. Hopefully I won't get thrown out of the raft and run into any hippos or crocs!

Ok, I will stop rambling now. Miss everyone back home! Can't believe I'll be home in less than two weeks though! Ayayay! Crazy.
Peace :)
