As of today, I have not been in the US for a month. It doesn't seem very long...but a month. Last year, I stayed in Uganda for 3 weeks so I guess it's not that much different. But this time has been much different. I think the children have also noticed how different it has been this time around. The kids at the high school have commented that "You're lost". (meaning that I haven't been around) They also mentioned how last year I work jeans and a t-shirt most of the time and this year I dress "smart" (meaning I wear nicer clothes). I told them that last year was a leisure trip, but now I am working and I need to be respectful and dress "smart". They understood. This week cabinets went into the kitchen so now there are only one or two boxes of stuff on the floor. Hopefully I can get a mini-closet of some sort to hang my clothes otherwise I have to iron on a daily basis and keep clothes in my suitcase.
As for work, I am teaching a discipleship curriculum to the teenagers for both awana and Sunday school this weekend. I have yet to really prepare my lessons, so today will be a busy day.
Prayer requests:
That I will be able to get my long term visa from Uganda
That God will give me wisdom for teaching
Continued health
That I will be able to learn Luganda

- In 2011, I felt the call to return from the mission field. I learned a lot there but felt the Lord calling me back to the U.S. What did he tell me I need to be doing? Discipleship. What does that look like? I have no idea, but I am willing to follow the Lord as this begins to unfold in my life.
