Uganda; day 78

We’ve crossed the halfway point, we only have ten weeks left in Uganda. That’s not very long at all really. The first half of the trip was full of getting used to a new country, and learning a new culture, which I’ve enjoyed doing. Now that all of that is out of the way, I’m curious what the next ten weeks will be like. We have our trip to Kenya in less then two weeks, I’m sure it’s going to be awesome on so many different levels.

I cut Kurt’s hair yesterday, if it hadn’t looked so bad to begin with that would have been a scary thought. But we both agreed even though I had no experience cutting hair it couldn’t look any worse. We were right, it looks much better, not perfect by any means, but better.

We’re going to a bible study at Calvary Chapel tonight, it’s supposed to be a really good in-depth study. We’ve avoided going to town at night ever since our first encounter with it, which was a little unnerving. But now that we’re more comfortable with our surroundings, and the people in them, we’ve decided to venture out more

Unfortunately the situation at the home has only gotten worse in the past week or so. Three schools that the children attend have sent them home because we have no money to pay the school fees. Things just seem to keep getting more behind with every week. We did receive money this week, it was just enough to get beans and firewood, which is a relief.
