Week 9

Hello everyone!

A friend of mine pointed out to me that the last time I took this long to blog was when I had malaria- sorry, I don't have a cool excuse like malaria this time. 

A few highlights from this week: 

I met with the school librarian (Her name is Jen and she's wonderful) about using some books and workbooks from the library to aid me in tutoring. It was fun to visit with her and I now have some great tools at my fingertips. I really enjoyed just sitting in the library, surrounded by children's books, each in their particular place. I felt quite at home. I've really begun to miss working at the library back home. It was so much fun and I always looked forward to going to work. I learned so much there and got to be around some really incredible people. If you ever go in the Wimberley Village Library, give the place and its many wonderful inhabitants all my love! 

The P-6 and P-7 Bible study is going wonderfully. Here are a few pictures we took this week: 

I was invited to dinner, along with several others, at the home of one of the missionary families in the area. Their sweet six year old daughter has just begun to read on her own and they wanted to have a celebration. She read a whole story to us aloud, all by herself. It was so sweet to be a part of such a special moment and a whole lot of fun to hang out with the family. Moments like that make living here a little more normal, a little more like home. It does my heart good. 

This is Vicky. We have epic lunch dates. She just got these new glasses- doesn't she look great? 

A friend of ours had some business in Kampala this weekend, so Callie and I tagged along to the big city. The trip was filled with fun, beautiful scenery, shopping, good food, and a whole lot of laughter. Here is a picture I took while the boys were fixing a flat tire: 

Callie, our friend Dan, and I stuck in traffic. 

A painting I bought in the market- ISN'T IT WONDERFUL?!?

Until next time!
