Once again, I apologize for my lack of updates. I can't stress enough how quickly the time seems to be passing now. And I feel bad for being excited about that, but I am just so ready to be back home. Although, in saying that, I know that just a few weeks into my homecoming I'll be wishing I was back here. I won't miss the excessive potholes in the roads [or the lacking roads amongst the potholes], the unavoidable layer of dirt that gets on everything, or the mosquitoes swarming me as I try to check my email at night or buzzing in my ears while I try to sleep. I will miss the people, both the missionaries and the Ugandans. God has shown me so much in these few months of just what it takes to be a missionary, the sacrifice and motivation and effort. God has encouraged me in seeing the work that He is doing here, seeing people who are willing to give of themselves, to live the life that Christ has called them to, the life that He has called all of us to.
Pray for my teammates and I as we have begun wrapping up our areas of ministry, preparing to leave in just a few short weeks. Our schedule for departure begins on December 13 as we will fly from Uganda back to Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania [where we were for orientation] for a few days of debriefing with all of the other HandsOn teams. All of the HandsOn teams will depart from Tanzania on December 16, flying into D.C. and parting ways from there to arrive at our respective homes on December 17.
I'm working on a post of what God has shown me this semester, kind of an overall summary of sorts. It was going to be part of this post, but I decided I should put some more time and thought into it and really just search for more. I'm excited and nervous about sharing what God has shown me. With that said, I promise at least one more post.
Thanks for your continued prayers! Hope everyone likes the new song."Love, after all, matters the most..." Share that Love with someone!
