Hey from Uganda!

Hey from Uganda!!!!
Well, here I am, working on my forth day in Jinja, Uganda! Pretty cool, huh? The various flights went really well; I think the hardest part was being too tired to leave the London airport for my 8-hour layover, so I found two seats with the dividing arm rest missing, and slept. Customs went off without a hitch, and all of my luggage arrived safely too (praise God).
I was super-zombie for the rest of the day, but Sadie and the Fulks kept me busy and awake, with a shopping trip to Kampala on our way home. I held my eyes open all the way until 8:00, when Sadie bid me good night and went to lock the door. It was kind of loud and clangy, so she came back to apologize . . . I never responded, nor did I hear the door.
I love the house that Sadie and I are staying in! It’s so comfortable and homey, although there’s still so much to get used to. Having geckos shoot out when you go to close the curtains, and closing a window to keep the room cool!!! And then there are the chickens and goats roaming the compound (I’m looking at a family of chickens pecking around under a banana tree right now)! I love it!!!!
I’m using this Christmas time to settle in, become semi-familiar with my surroundings, and to prepare myself for the upcoming school semester (I have a whole stack of school books to go over). I’m so happy to be back with the Fulks children, and I hope and pray that I’ll be able to teach them well, as well as be able to help out John and Rebecca.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
In my quiet time this morning, I was reading Galations, and I came across 1:24 (already underlined in my Bible) “and they glorified God because of me.” Wow! What an amazing thing to be able to say! That’s my theme/goal verse for now. I want people around me to be directed towards praising the Savior! I pray that I will be able to live and help others in such a way that they would be more able to give God the glory!
