Countdown: 55 Days

55 days until we leave the country.
Whoa.

I don't think it's really hit me yet that we're going to be there for four months. Seventeen and a half weeks. 123 days. 2952 hours. The longest I've ever been away from the comforts of home was last year in Uganda for five weeks. I started counting down after the two week mark. After just 14 days, I was ready for a hot shower, a variety of foods, clean feet, no mosquitoes, and no cultural barriers. But... 123 days. What have I gotten myself into? But honestly, I'm so pumped. I'm so ready to break down, stand back up again, love Uganda, hate Uganda, and probably never want to leave Uganda. I know already that it's going to go entirely too fast.

I can't tell you how many times so far in these past three months I've felt like God has literally sat me down, put his strong fatherly hands on my little girl shoulders, looked me straight in the eyes, and said, "Slow down. Wait. Focus on Uganda." I keep getting distracted. I don't know why.

Well. So far, I haven't really used this blog for anything Uganda related. And really that's what it's for. After Uganda, I will use it for the rest of my travels (hopefully there will be so many), but right now, it's for Uganda. I want my friends, my family, and my supporters to know what's going on while I'm there. I hope to upload video, photographs, and write story after story of the amazing things that go on.

So, that's that. Signing off for now... it's bedtime.

Love Brynn.
