Laura was feeling pretty sick yesterday, so we decided it would be best to wait an extra day before taking the long, hot, and bumpy bus ride to Gulu. She is mostly better today, although she had waves of nausea throughout the day. All to be expected after long amounts of air travel with very little sleep!
Plus, I was supposed to be picking up an intern for another organization in Gulu. His flight got delayed due to the volcanic ash and he will not be in until Thursday night.
Since we don't go to the village on Friday anyway, it made no difference if we returned to Gulu on Thursday or Friday, thus the decision to wait until Friday.
Our time in Kampala has been great! We are staying at the Mission Aviation Fellowship (MAF) guest house and it is very nice and comfortable - a perfect place to begin adjusting to Uganda. We took a walk this afternoon and had a fabulous view of Lake Victoria. Way cool!
Tomorrow we are going to a Bible study with Sheila, who works at MAF. Then we will head out to Entebbe early enough to walk by Lake Victoria and have dinner before we go to pick up Andrew at the airport.
Oh, and somehow we will figure out a way to get the FOUR suitcases, two backpacks, two purses, plus whatever luggage Andrew has, to the bus on Friday morning. Should be interesting...
And in Laura's defense, almost none of the stuff she brought is for her. It is almost all donated clothes, which is AWESOME!! I can't wait to hand out everything! Once again, people were very generous and we got lots of donations for the kiddos.
View of Lake Victoria - only a 10 minute walk from the MAF house!
P.S. I made Laura an "author" on my blog so she can post some about her experiences here. I figured most of the readers know both of us, plus it might be nice to read experiences from a new set of eyes!
