again it has been awhile but i thought i would give you a quick update. since last time i have seen more of the country and have learned lots. i was able to explore Sesse Island, trek through the Kapchorwa Mountains, and i spent a week with a family in Soroti. the course work is almost done and the the time here is coming to an end. I have about two weeks left and i know i am going to miss this place. the country does not get old it is still as beautiful as the first day and of course the people are as interesting as ever. please continue to pray that i take advantage of every last moment here and stay present with these people.



Sesse Island: i met this guy on the island he was from Uganda, but he has been working in Iraq for 2 year. did you know there are over 70,000 Uagndans working in Iraq for the US.




this is the beautiful family i stayed with in Soroti. Soroti is in north east Uganda near the Kenyan boarder. i spent 7 days living their life. working on the farm, collecting water, and taking care of the animals. with the British and colonization aside their lifestyle is so pure. the work and the community of the people in Soroti were unlike anything i have ever seen.



after the week spent in Soroti with the family we spent two nights near Sipi Falls in the Kapchorwa Mountains. after a day of hiking i went of to the top of a small peak near our resort to watch the colors of beautiful sunset, while i was up there i met a group of European geologists. as they were walking over towards me i looked back to see one of them banging rocks together, licking them and smelling them when i saw that i thought i was looking at my own father. while i was talking to them one of the exclaimed Uganda should be rich.. he said they have gold, silver, oil, and crystals the size of a human hand. Then what's the problem? i guess you can ask the Italian oil companies, the gold miners, and the silver miners for yourself.
