Update from Buggujo Village :)

Hello everyone!! Sorry I haven't updated in a while...the internet decides when it wants to work and when it doesn't want to work!! So the past week has been very interesting: I've learned to..wash clothes from a basin, eat cooked ants and not worry about it (sorry mom!! haha), live in/eat from unsanitary conditions, peel pineapples, eat cabbage, live without running water, use primitive outdoor bathroom facilities, and bathe in the dark from a basin....
So I've been missing my family and friends from home, but my host family has been great!! My host mom's name is Harriet, my host brothers are Joshua, 16, Jonah, 15, and David, 20. On Sunday, we went to the English church service. The songs we sang are songs we sing back home either in chapel, church, or Sanctuary (which I miss by the way!)On Tuesday, we went to a graduation party. It was a combination between an American outdoor wedding and reception, a baby shower, church service, and New Year's. The chairs were set up outside with an aisle down the middle. The graduate marched down the aisle with her mother. Then we sang some songs, and then the preacher gave a 30 min. sermon. Then the graduate gave a 30 min. speech. Finally, we ate!! The food was great! After eating, each person walked up and gave the graduate a present. THEN we had a countdown until the graduate cut her cake! After eating cake (which was TERRIBLE), the dancing started!! Oh my...that was a night to remember. They tried to teach me a local Ugandan dance....I didn't do so well. ha! well, i've got class in 10 min. so goodbye!! Love and miss you all!!
