It was very nice to stay in Kyarusozi and relax this weekend! We were able to catch up on some sleep and lounge around. Yesterday, we went to 10:30 church with all of our kiddies. I held Robert (7 month old baby) the whole entire mass. When my arm started hurting, I realized that this is what it will feel like to be a mother. He fell asleep on me for about 45 minutes and was the cutest thing in the world. I can tell that he knows who I am because his face lights ...

Unfortunately, my cold keeps progressing and I am coughing non stop! I have been taking medicine and drinking lots and lots of fluids so I am optimistic that it will soon help. I'm sure playing with the neighborhood kids and teaching everyday isn't the best but my time is slowly dwindling here. The good news--The jigger is compeletly removed and I am just cleaning it and covering it everyday! On Thursday, we read the students Rainbow Fish and had them decorate ...

Before we got on the road back to Kyarusozi, we stopped at the bungee jumping site so the nurse's could show the teachers up and bungee jump! It was crazy to watch them do it! We were able to walk up to the platform and video and take pictures. We have some great before, during, and after photos! The nurses all had a blast and I was quite close to changing my mind. After, we fueled up with an omelette and toast and headed to the taxi park. We took a bus from J...

After my 12 hours of rest, I was re-energized for the next day. We had planned to go bungee jumping in the afternoon but it poured and poured. We laid low at the backpackers sight and played cards, caught up on reading, and journaled. Luckily, the sun came out just in time for the Sunset Cruise. There were a total of 23 guests on the boat including adults and children. Some were from Hawaii, England, and Uganda. The cruise went around the Nile River for two ho...
