Captain's Log, stardate 9529.1. This is the final cruise of the Starship Enterprise under my command. This ship and her history will shortly become the care of another crew. To them and their posterity will we commit our future. They will continue the voyages we have begun, and journey to all the undiscovered countries, boldly going where no man... where no *one* has gone before...
I found the quote rather fitting as I enter my last few weeks here. 

This last week I joined 300+ other people from all over Uganda and it's surrounding countries at a conference in Bethany Village. Speakers from Michigan, Idaho, California, and Canada came to share words of encouragement and teach valuable skills to the people of Africa. I'll be honest I wasn't very thrilled going into the conference, but after the fact, I'm very glad that I was able to attend. I was able to visit with some of the people that I met during my travels, met some new people, and had an overall great time. I shared one of the small houses in Bethany with Pastor Dennis (from San Francisco, funny quick witted guy), Pastor Tim (also from San Francisco, great guy, but snores louder than I thought was humanly possible), and we were joined for a few nights by two other speakers. You definitely could not have asked for a better location for a conference, everything took place outside right next to the lake. One of the few things that made this conference unlike any other was that sessions began at 6:30am. Yeah, I know. No, I didn't get up for that one. I got up with the rest of the white people for the 8'oclock session. 

This weekend has been spent just relaxing as usual. I have the main house to myself tonight while the Fage family is over at their friend's house. I will be doing the most amount of food prep that I have done since I've been in Uganda, just putting the shepherds pie in the oven for 30 mins. I think I can manage though.

Thats about it I think. As I've said before, feel free to ask questions of any kind. If you don't have an account, ask my parents to ask for you haha.
