Adjustment

Well, I don't know if people are still reading this journal, but I just wanted to continue to update it and the process as I move toward leaving for Uganda. I'm fully back to the swing of things here in the U.S. I'm not yet sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing. I can tell that I'm much more hurried in life already. It's made me appreciate all the down time of Uganda. I miss not having TV and that temptation. I miss the people and of course I miss the food. I think I gained a few pounds out there.

Since I've been back, I've been trying to set things up for returning to Uganda. I've talked to a few missionaries to find out what obstacles I might face. The biggest obstacle at this point is to figure out if I need a sending agency or if I can go under the covering of Buyamba.  If I go under Buyamba, the next obstacle is to find out the cost of insurance for each year. I think that will be a major cost for me. There are many other things to think about.

The personal items to deal with are my house and my teaching credential. I need to get my house ready to rent. I'm not sure if my roommate is going to continue to live here or if he is moving out in the next month. If he chooses to move out, I will be looking to speed up the process of renting out my house. That means some landscaping in the back yard and a few minor repairs on the house itself. If it wasn't for the house, I could leave soon, but there's work to be done. Secondly, the teaching credential I have in California is good for 4 more years, then it will expire. I am trying to find out what steps I need to take to clear my credential so it is good for life. That's another big hurdle for the year. I am waiting also to hear about that.

So continue to pray for God to open and close doors in preparation for what His will is for my life.

Also please pray for the upcoming camp for the students in Uganda. It is like any other camp...a life changing event where many will hear the gospel for the first time and begin to devote their lives to Jesus Christ. I heard so many stories about how students became Christians because of this camp.
