Hey everyone!! Today is Thursday, January 14th. I have an hour before class starts, so I'm taking this opp. to update! :) On Tuesday, we hiked "Monkey Hill." Yes, it got that name because there are tons of monkeys! There were some beautiful birds there, too. We then continued the hike up to the Prayer Mountain. It's a place you can go to pray and just sit in the presence of God. You can see the valley below and Lake Victoria in the distance. It is abolutley beautiful!
So about my host family...I love them!! They are some amazing people! They've been teaching me some of their native language, Luganda. I've caught on to some words and phrases, and I can understand some conversations now! Last night, they gave me a Ugandan name, Nakitende.
I'm taking classes at Uganda Christian University. I'm in Traditional African Religions, Faith and Action, East African Politics, Understanding Ethis, and a Cross-Cultural Missions Practicum course.
I absolutely LOOVVEEE it here in Uganda. Adios for now :)

Jenna,
ReplyDeleteThe pictures of Africa are beautiful! I'm glad that you are enjoying it there. God is so good to give you an answer to prayer to visit Africa so long ago. I've enjoyed reading your blog and are praying for you. Love, Teri P.
