I am now a resident of Beaver Falls, Pennsylvania. I live with 3 other wonderful roomates in a beautiful apartment in town. I work about twenty minutes from my home at a place called Gateway Rehabilitation Center as a full-time evening counselor. It is wonderful and so difficult all at the same time. But one thing I can say is, God is good. :)

IM FINALY HERE!

hi everyone. I am in Uganda and i think i am finally getting over jet lag..hahah. i am truly so excited to be here. Right now i am in the city of mukono at an internet cafe. On friday we got in and saw our new school for the next four months. It is sooo big...much bigger than i ever thought. about 4000 students attend there..that seems like a lot right? well, they are from all over as well. It has been wonderful meeting so many new people. It's funny though, cause when we're in the local town, mukono, people laugh and laugh and laugh at us, not trying to be rude, but just merely because we are white. it is so weird for them to see a ''muzungu" as they call us. many have never seen muzungu before. i have met many people and they are all very friendly. One of my good friends so far is named happy. he is what his name means, that's for sure. I enjoy talki8ng with him and he is very helpful to us. today at breakfast was 2 pieces of toast. dinner is usually rice and beans, but let me tell you, it is very good. I love it. at least for now i guess. i went to church this morning and it was so nice. it lasted 3 hours, but it was fun to see how they did everything. i am very thankful to be here. thank ytou for all your prayers. I will hopefully write more later and put up pictures, but right now i cant'
