Uganda, Uganda, Uganda...Need I Say More?

A month has flown by and the thought of my blog has just now arisen.  If that doesn't hint at how busy I've been then please re-read the sentence again and sit on it until you get it :)

Part of me is unsure of what I should put on here. So much has gone on that I'm at a loss of where to start and where to end. So, I'm curious to see if I can make this blog detailed, exciting, and yet still short enough to read in 5 minutes. So far, it's not looking too promising!

I love it here.

Despite...

the humid weather

crazy driving

getting a bad sunburn that made my skin feel like it was going to melt away

or moments of culture shock

...all that bubbles up is the immense joy I feel when I think of how honored I feel that God sent me here for a season to serve such wonderful people. The team I get to be apart of as we see the islands of Lake Victoria receive Christ, the youth of Uganda dramatically changed, and 2 year long projects completed is incredible. 

They bless me.

Their willingness to serve amazes me.

Their humble hearts teach me.

And their support is priceless.

I'm happy to say God is moving! Who would've thought?! Kidding, I'm only kidding :) I don't think I have enough time to sit here and type all the things He has done. So, let's see if I can put it all into a nutshell.

People have received Christ

Filled with the Holy Spirit

Young people are rising up to become great leaders

Ignite students continuing to grow and be impacted

My relationship with Christ grows deeper and deeper everyday

My passion for the youth has only grown

I'm slowly discovering a new meaning when it comes to boldness

Feeling weak or "small" truly is His time to be great and strong!

Basically

I serve a BIG God

He amazes me

I can't believe I get to have a relationship with Him

I'm more in love with Him now than I have ever been

On a lighter note I have killed lots of spiders on my own, learned to live with ants and geckos, am still in love with food, am still peeling from a 2 week old sunburn, and am enjoying the craziness that comes with Uganda! Actually, things that I've grown up with have thankfully prepared me for these 3 months.

For instance

 - my brother's crazy driving

 - my many hispanic friends I had growing up and being the only white person at their homes

 - my love for food

 - my crazy hair

 - and the fact that I'm a walking ice-box in the states so I can handle the heat here

God is good! I am absolutely loving it here. Couldn't love the team I am serving with more. And can't wait for the next time I get to indulge in a delicious coffee milkshake I've recently discovered!! Until next time my friends!
