Hardest places to say good-bye ...

So, I'm just going to be real honest with you that I fought back tears all day today. I had to say goodbye to my favorite babies and all of the kids at the Remand Home. It was rough. On top of it all of my Ugandan friends are telling me that they are going to take my passport and never give it back. ahhh ..

This morning at the babies home we had more people than normal, so we cleaned really fast, which means more time with the babies. I got to spend so much time with my beautiful Katarina, who is getting so big! It's a good thing that I'm not in the place in my life where I can adopt because she would be mine. She just stole a piece of my heart. She started SCREAMING when I put her down. She would let other people hold her, but she would never willingly reach her arms out to them. I think my mom should just adopt her and love her back to full nourishment. What do y'all think? :)

Remand Home is always so fun but so challenging. I have trouble relating to the kids because sure, I had a mouth .. well have a mouth on me .. but I'm not a juvenile. They also tend to give the answers that you want to hear. However, I loooove seeing those kids worship and seeing their smiles when you hug them. One girl in my group told us that when she came to Remand Home she was a Muslim, but now she is so excited to go home to her family and tell them about Christ. She told us that the reason she was at Remand Home was because some guy snatched her on the streets and was going to give her over for child sacrifice. Some lady rescued her and brought her to Remand Home for being an "idol child." The precious girl was crying as she was telling us this story. I have a picture of her, but the computer won't let me update any. I just can't even imagine.

We went to the craft market after, which is downtown Kampala. Some people have told us that there was another bomb found that was deactivated in downtown Kampala this morning. Of course, we had no idea. I can only find that information on one web page though. Maybe it will make news tomorrow.

Sorry for such a short, boring post, but I am soooo tired.

Fun Facts:
- I bought a jersey off some guy's back today. It does smell like straight up African armpit. What I learned: Africans will give you the shirt off their back for the right price.
- You can get a ticket here if your car is a hazard. Like, if your tires need to be changed or aired up or something like that, you can get a ticket.
- They have one insurance company for cars, so all of the insurance tags on the cars expire in the same month, so when that month comes around you better believe that they do lots of random inspections.

PRAISE THE LORD!
