Africa!

Here I am! In Uganda, Africa! Isn't that hard to believe after all of the work that has been put into this trip.  Being here is so surreal and absolutely breath taking..  There are flowers growing all over the base , while Lake Victoria is just in the horizon. For any of you who don't know, Lake Victoria is the bank of the Nile River. I wake up to young kids running and playing and /or african drums beating in the distance. The tempature is in the eighties, it is not really humid, and not many bugs suprisingly.                                                                     Anyways, my time here has been really intense with God already.  This week we learned about sin, forgiveness, and repentance.  He really had to search my heart and He(God) has made a lot of things uncomfortable.  When I started to depend on my computer to feel more at home, he took the internet away for a week and it was a really depressing time for me.  The thing is though, everytime i want to run to my parents on the computer...I couldn't. He taught me to run to him for comfort...not anywhere else.  When it finally came back on yesterday, I was ready to handle being on the computer again. I now don't feel desprate to be on facebook, but very contnt. I am still struggling with being so far away, but I know that God wants me here.
