Uganda update #1

We arrived safely in Uganda! After our 12 hour layover in Dubai we enjoyed a "short" plane ride to the one-building airport of Uganda. The first thing I noticed different from the States was the driving and roads. The roads are rarely paved, the dirt roads contain numerous potholes, and people walk and ride bikes in the middle of the road. In the hour drive from the airport to Kampala we saw the poverty of the country. Most buildings are small, brick, and dirty, so the house we are staying in seems very nice compared to what most people call their homes. For every two people we each share a room with our own beds. The food so far has been good, especially the pineapple! Most meals consist of rice, "potato balls" (I don't know what they are really called, but they're delicious), a vegetable, pineapple, meat of sorts and glass bottles of soda. Today we went to an orphanage outside of Kampala where we led worship, painted, and played with the children. It's amazing how joyful they are with the very little they have. They are content with the relationships they have with friends and family, the education they are receiving, and really enjoy seeing white people! Greg Clark and I have took hundreds of pictures, but unfortunately do not have the option to upload them on the internet provided :( We will try to keep you updated though!
Goodbye from Uganda.
