Its only 25 days till we leave for Uganda!!! We went and got all our shots today, a little sore, but good to go! And we bought our plane tickets...so its definitely official- we leave December 30th and fly from LA to Amsterdam than from Amsterdam to Kenya as it becomes 2008 (we can keep celebrating in each time zone!), then on to Entebbe, Uganda!!!! My friends live in Kabale at the very southern end of the country, right over the boarder is Rwanda. I was able to talk with my friend Renee in Uganda on the phone for like an hour and get a bunch of details figured out. So exciting! One new part of the plan is that after Sara leaves on the fifteenth of January, I will be spending about three weeks traveling to different cities in Northern and central Uganda with a lady who runs Children of Hope (similar to a world vision kind of thing but with a lot more discipleship focus too). One of the cities I will be in is Gulu, and some others. I'll then spend one of the weeks with them in Kampala helping them get ready for the kids to go back to school. Another new cool thing I worked out is that when I leave in March, I got my layover in Nairobi, Kenya to be for three days so I can visit with Shayla (good friend and former super Sunshine volunteer) she is in Kenya for nine months and will still be there!!!! I'm so excited to see her and what she's been up to in person! Another city we will be in for a few days at the very beginning of our trip is Jinja (the source of the Nile) -Sara and I are going to be the child care/ entertainment for six missionary kids while my friends and the other parents are in meetings at this resort they go to once a year. I think those are the main details that have been arranged so far and I'm sure there will be lots more surprises and adventures to come! I can't believe its so soon! Crazy!
