Man, oh man... My 30 hour adventure was just that.. An adventure. My flight out of Alexandria was delayed/cancelled, and they said I wouldn't make it to my Atlanta flight. So, my dear, sweet mother drove me to Lafayette, just to find out that that flight was delayed. After about an hour of looking at different opportunities, most of which meant getting there a day late, the departure of my first flight moved up some! Seriously y'all, prayer is powerful! I sprinted through the airport to make my flight to Amsterdam, only to find out that it was delayed too! I completely forgot how absolutely miserable and long those flights are! Driving through the city and seeing all my friends made those 30 hours worth it. :)

This morning Sarah and I stayed behind and went to the "Deaf school" here. (http://www.deaflinkuganda.org/). The second we walked up, we were bombarded by lots of hugs and smiles! Thats the place to be if you're ever having a bad day. These kids make up their own signs too because a lot of them lived in villages or were homeless on the streets, so no one taught them to sign appropriately. (If you have a disability of any sort here, your family either disowns you or you never really get out of the house).  -- I have been contemplating taking a sign language class at Lighthouse for the Blind for awhile now. Now I really want to take it! 

We ended up walking back over there today and bringing a frisbee. It was so great! I'm starting to pick up on some signs too! Those kids absolutely love visitors .. Really anyone who will give them the time of day. The people here really do see joy in the smallest things. 

Sarah and I were talking on the drive to the house about how it feels we never left! I felt like I was pulling up to my own driveway last night. When we got here, we were so ready to take a shower after traveling, and ... There was no running water. TIA. :) so... Bucket bath it was! 

Tomorrow we go to the children's home/hospital/school! I'm sooo excited!

Praise The Lord!
