Apology:
Sorry for the lack of posts! We have been having a bit of trouble with power and to get a good connection to the internet I have to venture out into mosquito territory. However, I am trying to get up early to work on things :D

What is new:
This week is "Envisioning Week" at New Hope. Every January the staff comes together to regroup for the new year ahead and reflect on why we are here. It has been an awesome time so far with some great speakers and incredible worship.

Fun Story:
I killed a giant cockroach last night! I was heading to the bathroom and when I opened the door there he was....but not for long. I think my fright fueled the killing blow to him.

** Stay tuned for a tour of New Hope*** Hopefully coming this week!!

Week One

Home Sweet Banda

Well I have been here for a week and it has been quite busy. I met my roommate, Kierstin, in London as we headed on to Uganda. We arrived at New Hope last Sunday and started settling into our new place. It has been a bit of work, but it fun to see the progress. Class started last week, we are 21 students in total ( 9 westerners & 12 Ugandans). I have developed a cold and have been struggling the last few days but hopefully will get better soon.

Only in Uganda moment: I was just passed by a group of 5 boys pushing tires for fun!
