so they call the bush, the areas in Africa that are in the "country". The place we went was definetley in the middle of nowhere, but not quite as in the middle of nowehere as Ti Peligre (Haiti). We went to an orphanage called New Hope. They have a unique set up. They have 8 families of about 25 kids. Each family lives in a cluster of huts on the new hope property. There is also a school, fields, admin buildings, and staff housing. It was nice to get out of the city for a weekend. We were visiting friends of Jake(one of the interns). Jake had been to this orphanage before and his friends are a part of the staff. We hung out them and played catch phrase! i love that game! On Saturday we played volleyball with some of the kids, and then went to the local market where i bought a Uganda football jersey! Sunday they had a great church service. The preacher did a skit about Galatians, and the freedom from the law that we have. I do not know how to describe it in writing but it was awesome! Jesus showed me that he has freed me from the burden of my sin, and if i walk with him, day by day, he will be me through everything.
Then we got a special hire to drive us back, however he could only take 7 of us (there were 8 of us including Jakes friends) . So Aaron and i took public taxis back, we got a little lost, but made it back, with groceries, and had fun!
We will see where tomorrow will take us !
