Well, I think its safe to say that in the past ten days I have experienced almost all there is to experience here in Uganda. 

The people
have been incredible. I have never felt so appreciated, welcomed, or unworthy in my life. They have openly accepted us into their offices, their churches, and their homes. 

The places
vary from city to city.  Wether its downtown Kampala (which is the capital), or "the bush" out in Mubende each and every place has been distinct and has a special place in my heart

The churches
may have been one of the most impacting things. It has never been so apparent that, we as christians in America, are weak in faith, prayer, worship, or anything else to do within the church. To many of us are fair weather christians, that go to God when it's convenient, or when we want something. If the churches here have taught me anything it is the virtue of faithfulness.

The faithfulness
in itself needs a category. In ALL situations the christians of Uganda turn to God in faithfulness. Wether they are happy/sad, before/after they do anything, even in blessing/tragedy.

The safari
was fun as well. While it doesn't quite pertain to the whole medical mission trip thing, I think it was a great experience as part of being halfway across the world in such a beautiful place.

Like I've said before, to tell everything that has happened in the past couple days would take three or four pages of this blog. Most of the stories you'll have to come over when I'm home to hear haha.. 

As a closing thought, my first month here in Uganda is approaching and if the next two months are anything like the first, I couldn't be happier.
