Uganda

We landed in Uganda on Wednesday night. It is great to be here! We got more and more excited as we got closer to landing. As soon as we started interacting with the people here, we were reminded of our love for Africa. The people are incredible, and we are grateful to have the opportunity to be in Africa again.

Theresa on the patio of our guest house

We did some errands in town yesterday and then walked to dinner at a restaurant nearby last night. Uganda has a decent amount of variety in restaurants and food available. The restaurant we went to was an Italian place. We split a pizza and it was surprisingly delicious.

Today we were able to meet up with one of our team members, Larissa. She arrived in Uganda late last night. It is so helpful to have her here because she has live in South Sudan for several years and has spend a lot of time in Uganda. She went shopping with us today and was a huge help with directing us to what to buy and where to get it. It was really fun to get to know her more today! We're excited to live life with her in Mundri and join the rest of the team next week.

Exhibit A that jet lag is no joke

We are still recovering from jet lag. Let's just say that on our first night here, I (Theresa) ended up in the bathroom with my headlamp at 3am... doing squats.... while eating a Clif bar. Yep, that pretty much sums up how jet lag has been so far ;). My motto is, do what you need to in order to go back to sleep. At that moment, my body needed exercise (from all of the sitting on long plane rides) and food. Last night, I ended up reading at 3:30 in the morning after sitting awake for 2 hours prior. Here's to hoping that tonight will be a little better.

We will be running more errands for the next few days before flying to Mundri on Tuesday morning. We are enjoying being here in Uganda, but are really looking forward to starting life in Mundri. Thanks for all of the prayers that have gotten us to this point! We are very grateful! Please keep them coming :).
