We made it! What an amazing trip! I cannot even describe how beautiful Africa is and how lovely the people are. I would move there in a heartbeat. I even mean that after thinking long and hard about the bird sized buzzing insect that divebombed my head outside the outhouse. We spent the first week in an orphanage for almost 1000 kids. I was humbled by their joy. These kids radiated it. AND more impressed than I can say with how intelligent these kids are! This boy's name is Richard. He stuck with me for the week. He acted as a translator for me, identified plants, and made me laugh.
I also got to meet one of our sponsored children. Her name is Cherry (pronounced somewhere between the fruit and Sherry). What a sweet girl. She didn't speak English. I didn't speak Lugandan. Really it didn't make much difference. We went to church together and held hands. And that's all that matters anyway.
