It's been a couple of busy weeks since leaving South Africa! We spent a few days at AMCC and enjoyed being with the kids and getting to know them again. The new AMCC (at the converted chicken house) is great, and there have been so many improvements, such as electricity, tanks to catch water, and porcelain squatty potties. We drank lots of tea and were happy to fellowship with the staff and children. I almost know all their names!
Quick rendezvous with friends in Nairobi.
Then we took the bus to Kampala - that was an adventure in itself. There was a wreck ahead of us that caused a 6 hour stop in traffic, making our 14 hour trip into 20 hours. So upon arrival in Kampala, we grabbed dinner and rode "boda bodas" to the craziest bus station that I've ever been to! And got on another bus to Mbarara, Uganda, where we met up with good friends Micah and Betsy DeKorne, who now live there, and David and Kristen Okada, who flew in to visit and celebrate Thanksgiving. We had an incredible time together with some really good conversations. And we had a great Thanksgiving meal, too.
Now back in Nairobi before heading to AMCC tomorrow. But now I need to head to bed.
