We are in Love with this place

We have only been here a short time, but so far we love this country. We are currently staying in the city of Masaka with our friend Pastor Kintu and his family. Yesterday Tim dropped us off in the city with a "scavenger hunt" to-do list to get us used to being in the country without him. It was a lot of fun. We are learning the language very slowly, but the people are nice and love to ask "the mzungus" questions and make jokes at our expense.

I am somewhat sad, but also very relieved to say that our long hair only lasted three days. We passed a barber shop on the street yesterday and knew what had to be done. It is way too hot here for the hairstyles we were sporting, so we now have very attractive buzz cuts (no seriously, we look good). It is wierd not having any hair, but a very welcomed change here. We will post pictures as soon as we can.

Last night we went to a resort on Nabugabo Lake with the BSM (Believers School of Ministry) team for them to have a meeting. It is such a beautiful place and served wonderfully for reflection and rest. We have been going going going from the time we got here so it was nice to sit back and relax with friends.

Tomorrow we are going out west, to our friend Israel's village to visit some tribes and churches out near the mountains. It will be very interesting to really leave modern civilization behind us for a week. We won't have access to the internet out there so this will be the last post for a week or so.

I love you all very much and miss you as well. Please continue to pray for us as our journey continues and we will update again as soon as possible.

All our love!
