Some days it seems as if I was last on Ugandan soil ages ago. And other days, like today, it seems as if it were just yesterday that I was sitting next to a new friend on a plane headed to San Francisco. On my way to see my friends and family for the first time in four months.
And now, in just four days, I will be heading back out to Uganda. I will spend one night in London where I hope to visit with a sweet friend. And then exactly three months from the day I left Uganda, I will be able to embrace those sweet Ugandan loves of mine once again.
Leaving back to Uganda is bittersweet. I know what I don't like about Uganda and I know what I must leave behind in California. And that makes me erie about returning. Although, I know that I am so excited to see what God has in store for me thist time around. I can't wait to get back into a steady teaching routine where I will spend my days with crazy, wild, loving students. Days full of laughter, smiles, and a whole lot of Jesus.
I am ready to get back out there and I truly believe that God's timing in my return is perfect, because I am quite content at the moment, after days of doubting God's decision.
What I am going to miss most about being in California is nannying Cian and Rhielle, spending time with my family, sleeping in my own bed, burning candles, being able to drive myself wherever and whenever, American food, Pandora, Target, watching the Shaytards, and most definitely California sunsets. (Sorry Africa, California has the best).
I am funded for ~6 months in Uganda, which keeps me there through June. If you feel lead to support me financiaially, pleace contact me for imformation of where you can send a tax-deductable check. Or to donate online, see the website link on the right sidebar of this page.
So, next time you hear from me, I will be back in Uganda! Please keep me in your prayers for departing California, for my travels, and for adjusting back to living in Uganda.
