The Past 3 Weeks

The past three weeks have been filled with family and friends and preparations and relaxation. I am so blessed to have the family I have. I'm so grateful for the relationship I share with each of my beautiful sisters. I'm going to miss them more than anyone, I think.

Tomorrow, I am going back to Milwaukee. I'm shooting a wedding reception on Friday, and then on Saturday and Sunday I'll just get to kick it on the east side with my friends there. I am really looking forward to seeing them and going to Epikos! There's a lot of people I want to see, and not a lot of time to see them all though.

Then on Monday, I go to Leilah's house with entire Uganda crew. Suzie, Collin, Erin, Leilah, Tom, and Me. We all get to be together for the first time ever! I think that's when it will hit me that I'm actually leaving for four months!

On Wednesday we leave for Uganda. I'm so excited. I can't even tell you how excited I am, because I don't think I really know yet. But it's that feeling where you know you're going to be exactly where you're supposed to be. Contentment, joy, peace. Plus, I get to see all my Ugandan friends again.

I'll write again soon, because I want to tell you about the war in Uganda. You should know why I'm passionate about this country specifically. Uganda is said to be the pearl of Africa. I'd say, that's true.
