What Season is it?

What season is it we are now in the raining season. Where it is hot in the day and then it rains like buckets, very day last week and half if this week it rained all morning and all though the night. It is very interesting the rainy it can be very very hot and then rain and very nice but no humidity.
For the ones that are wondering I have not seen a monkey in at least a week so no stories about them.
For the people that what more about the kids. we are very busy with them. We had a child staying here for a short time something with the court system. When they can to pick her up she ran into the forest and that is where she stayed for a couple of hours until they left. Also we just went to pick another child and it sounds like we are also getting in triplet's in tonight too. So today we are going to be getting in 4 new kids. In 2 weeks we got in 5 kids that put us up to 100. WOW

New things

Today I was just finishing work for the day and I was walking in my house and found some fire ants Nice Ja. So I watched them for a little bit and while I was watching them I just looked and all I could see are millions and millions i bet close to a billion fire ants it was crazy. So I call the guy to come and spray to kill them and I went into the house they're were at least two hundred more it was crazy.

The other thing I learned today was when you are driving and they flash the lights at you a lot that means. They're asking you if they're are any cops ahead, and if the thumb is down they're up ahead and if the motion is the hand flat out it is safe no cops ahead. So those are 2 new things that happened today

More Sad News

I have bad news again on the night of Friday the 27th we lost another child. His name was Trevor he has only been with us for a few months. But he was in and out of the hospital all the time. He was in the hospital for about one month and the doctor told us there is not much we can do but make him comfortable. He died from aids; he was only 8 months old.
He still had some family but they couldn't take care of him so that’s why he lived with us. So when he died they ask if he could be buried with the mother. So we took the body to the home of the mother and put him to rest there. It is a custom in that part of Uganda that the person who delivered the body would be paid with a chicken. So I got a chicken and also Mariska a friend of mine got a chicken to for taking care of him.

Home

For the ones that do not know I am home for 15 days. The reason that I am home is because A very close friend and or my mentor was killed in a auto accident in Redwood Falls. Basically what happen was that I was reading am email and I got to the last one for the day. I opened it up and and could not believe what I was reading so I read it 3 times. Then I called a very close friend and asked her for help so she did very thing for me. She called me 3 hours later and then she stated that I have a plane ticket for that night. so I rushed to get on the plane and 24 flight after that here I am.

robbed

I am sorry for having a couple of negative blogs but that is what is going on. On the last weekend of the month I was coming home of a weekend of R and R and I stopped at the corner market to buy some Samosa and airtime. Samosa is kind of like a pizza pocket and the airtime is for the prepaid phones that we have. During the time that I was gone less then 4 minutes they stole my laptop computer, my portfolio and all my if my dirty clothes. If course no one saw anything, so I reported it to the police. It is not like here in the states,when I was reporting it then I have to pay to do it and then I have to pay for the phone calls it is pretty weird the whole system.

funny

I saw the funniest thing last night on way home from bringing friends to the airport. As you know if you talked to my parents the roads in Uganda are very bad. They’re pot holes everywhere and very wide and deep. So I was at a T-road on a side of a hill and there was a gas tanker stuck in a deep pot hole. So I got closer and saw 10 people trying to push this 5000 gallon tanker if not more out of the pot hole, and 1 one guy was down by the wheel with a rock so very time it move forward he would put a rock there so it wouldn’t go back. After I passed I just laughed to myself just thinking how long they would be there before it got free.
