* Meant to post this on Sunday..
We just moved into our host family's home. Sam and I totally lucked out and have a sweet place for the next few weeks. The mother and father of the family are wonderful people (I was told their name when we first met, but have no idea what they are now)-- The father was involved with parliament a few years ago and now works for some international grain consulting business or something... and the mother was once a computer programmer-- she and I have actually had a few nerdy conversations about programming and computers... odd. They have six children-- four who are living and working in the UK and then two still in Uganda. Andrew is the oldest at home- he's 23 and is at Bugolobi University, and is on winter break right now. Trevor is the youngest... he turns 13 tomorrow. Sam and I will mos def be getting him a present he shouldn't have... like a knife, or a gun or something?
So we went to church this afternoon. In short: The Service = Anglican + Country+ African. And after 3.5 hours, I've had enough church for the afternoon. However, the sermon was bomb and I thoroughly enjoyed it... just no more right now, please.
Tonight we'll be going downtown to some sort of local art show... should be schweet... pics/video to come.
Annnd... it's been amazing meeting new people and seeing how the Lord is working in across the globe. There's a lot more on my mind about the Lord etc... but I'm not sure what or how to write about just yet. Sooooo... peace :)

Couple updates:
1) we started working at Luzire Maximum Security Prison yesterday... mos def one of the craziest places I've been to. (Side note: at a crime scene, it's very common for the police to arrest 50+ people surrounding and take them to prison-- and generally they keep suspects in prison between 4-6 years)
2) our travel arrangements for Sudan are almost complete... we're working with a cousin of a friend, of someone we met at a 'travel office' to get our Sudanese visas... I can't say more than that, but it's totally sketch... but it's all gonna work out :)
