Still in Soroti

Hey guys! Just thought I'd do a quick blog before I head out to the village today... Nothing exciting to say but I feel like I should take advantage of the internet that I have while I still have it :)

Yesterday, I went to town with Anne to go to a prayer meeting/time of fellowship. Anne spoke for part of it and we sang and prayed, it was awesome :) I even knew two of the songs! I also napped more - I've definitely been more jet lagged on this trip than on my last two trips. Then I went on a walk with Joseph's three boys (Elotu Joseph is the guy in charge of all of the carepoints in Uganda and it's his house that I've been staying at since Monday).

Joseph's four-year-old boy, Zoe, is one of the funniest little boys I've ever met. He laughs at everything and says the strangest things. To him, everything is "like a pig." In the past 24 hours I've heard him say that someone fainted like a pig, faked like a pig, feared like a pig, and when I yawned this morning, he told me that I blew like a pig. He'll also come and sit next to me in the chair and just squeeze my arm over and over and I can sometimes trick him into tickling it for me... Even as I went to post this, he came and laid down next to me and fell asleep holding my arm :)



In the 5 minutes that I've spent writing this, my plans have now changed... I won't be leaving for the village until tomorrow morning now :( But I've waited a year, so I guess I can wait one more day to see my little man :)

Please continue to pray for my teeth, and also for a strong mind and stomach - my teeth were hurting yesterday, but are feeling better today, and after eating about five meals with eggs, I've pretty much exhausted my tolerance for them :/ I know that there are many eggs to come in the next eight weeks, so I'm hoping to be able to tolerate them more than just gagging them down :)

Love and miss you all, thanks for your prayers and support!
