I'm getting increasingly sad as my time here in Uganda is coming to a close. It doesn't seem real that I will be leaving in just over two days. I'm legitamately disappointed about this. I have found such amazing friends here and God has blessed me so much in my time here I cannot even begin to tell you the half of what has happened, only able to point out the big ideas.
I truly love it here. So much. There is no concept of "busy". The days are totally and completely packed with agenda items but rarely do they all get carried out and if they do its in a relaxed manner. None of the hussle and bustle and stress I deal with at home working two jobs and being a full time student.
I am very excited as 6 of my Ugandan friends will be coming to the US about the same time I will be arriving back in Fargo! This is part of their masters program in international infectious disease management (IDM for short). For this program the masters students from the US have to come to Uganda for a summer and the Ugandan students need to come to the US for, possibly, a year.
On early Sunday morning I will be flying to Burkina Faso, luckily God has stopped me from fearing this I'm taking it as an adventure that will only bring me closer to him. But that definately doesnt mean I still love flying, because I definately don't. I'm very excited to see my good friend Mari and all that is going on in Burkina as I have been told numerous different things about East Africa vs. West Africa.
