I have been very busy lately and some of the things that I have been doing is a lot of running around for the home and the school that we have. I know that sounds like no big deal in the western world but it is the very hard and stressful thing in a 3rd world country. The rules they we have in the western world are not here so a simple thing like driving can make you so tired.
In a couple of weeks my mom and dad are coming so I am very excited. I miss them and it will be nice to see them again. I also cannot wait for them to meet their only 2 grandsons. I know that they will love them like I love them. Some of the things that we are going to be doing is go up to the northern part of Uganda and go on a safari for a couple of days, then go to the source of the Nile River also for a couple of days, just so them the beauty of Uganda, and of course relax for the 15 days. It is a beautiful place to live. Right now it is one of the hottest parts of the year.

Sleep Over
My Henry’s first sleep over, I am so proud of him he is so fun. I am been very busy lately and I have been feeling very bad about it. Henry and his friend Stephen have been asking for a couple of weeks now. So today I told him that if he wants a sleep over that is okay, he was so happy. So when supper was finished they came back to the house. I asked them what they wanted to do and they said we want to dance. So I put some music on and then invited the neighbors to join in it was like a very little block party. It was very nice to watch my 2 kids jump around and try and dance I am so proud. I hope they continue with the love to dance because I love to dance. I would really like it if they would take a dance class to learn how to dance other styles.
Holiday
It has been a very long time since I have written last and I am sorry for that. I have been very busy with the Holiday’s I tell you having Christmas and New Years for 93 children is a lot and I mean a lot of work, but we made it work though.
Has you all know I have 2 little boys living with me now. I have been doing this since thanksgiving. They’re a joy to have living with me, there is a lot of ups and downs but we make it thou.
Let me tell you a little bit about them. The oldest is Henry he is 4 years old and just finished preschool in December. He is very much full of life which is a lot of fun to watch. I just wish I had the energy that he has I see a lot of me in him.
Nathan is the youngest at 2 and he will be 3 on May 16th so I am looking forward to that. Nathan is a lot different than Henry is. Nathan is more of the type that sits back and takes it all in. He is for sure the boss and Henry is the muscle. Nathan is talking and talking and talking just like someone else I know BUT NOT ME.
The Holiday season is pretty different here than in America and it’s a little the same. Here they have 2 Christmas days. They also do not work during the week between Christmas and News years. It is mostly the privately owned business open. Even we do not do a whole a lot in that week. Most of the work force was out for the holiday. It was just the workers that work with the 93 children what were still here during that time.

Happy Thanksgiving I know that it is over but o well. How it all came about is very Monday morning all admin has a meeting. Part of the meeting was christmas and when should we start and I said in america we start on friday. The CEO asked why Friday I told him we always start the day after thanksgiving. I told him a little about thanksgiving, then he said can we do it here and I said sure no worries, So went shopping for food and stuff like that to be ready. So on Thanksgiving we worked all day and I started cooking at noon I cooked ham, chicken, sweet corn, fruit salad, and apple pie. It was very good and I got up and made a little speech to help explain thanksgiving.

Again I move
Yesterday I was talking to one of my bosses and she told me that I shuld move to the new house. So I said i shold what until the weekend she said no do it when ever you want. So I replied I am going to move now now. So yesterday I pack some thing and move to the other side of the compound.
You ask why did I move again. This is the reason I loved the house that I was living in but it was just to small for the 2 little boys that are going to be moving in with me. The reason that they're going to be moving in is becauseI am going to be adopting them. Here in Uganda I have to foster them for 3 years.
So again I move to a very nice big house.

What a weekend
The weekend all started on Friday night. There was a team for America here and they had a dinner just for all the missionary's. It was very nice we had great food that made me feel like home.
Then Saturday came in the morning it was a normal day. About 4 o'clock I was on my way to Kampala for a night out on the time. The people that I have been dealing told he that I am to young to stay at home and they are going to take me out. So we did it was a lot of fun we started about 5 o'clock and ended at about 3 in the morning here the bars and clubs close at 7 in the morning.
On Sunday morning I was called to Pieta side of he compound. So I was very nervous because I had know clue why I was called I never get called. SO when I got there she told me to sit down we need to talk. So I sat down and she told me that yesterday they had a person visit. The person was Henry and Nathan uncle, he came to visit the boy's and to see how they're doing. She told him that there is a man here that wants to adopted the boy's. He said great that is good and he said I what to meet him, but I was not around. The man has the power over the children because the mother is very crazy. So when I meet the man he will give me the letter that I need to start the adopting. So that is great news. The rest of the day I what to Church at 2 o'clock and after that it was time to bring the Americans to the Airport to go back home. So we started for the airport and on the way there is a dirt road right outside the compound. So when it rains we can not move. Now being the raining season we wanted to get going so we make it. SO we start and we told the driver what ever to do do not stop put it to the floor and leave it there. so we got half way help the hill and she let off the gas. SO guess what happen we got stuck and bad. The bus that we were riding in half was in he field and the other half was in the ditch.so we were stuck for 2 hours and we finally got the bus on stuck and use the other way. so when we finally got to the airport we all were wet and covered with mud. So all I can say is what a weekend
