Sorry for not writing in a long time it is very crazy here lately. This weekend I had the luck to go to a real African wedding. It was interesting to say the least. It was a co-worker he works up in the north branch. The wedding was a surprisingly close to the same as an American wedding.
We just entered the raining season and I am all ready for the weather to go back to the dry season. That is very odd for me to say because I love the rain. The difference is that here they're all gravel and dirt roads so that makes a huge mess in the house and clothes. I used to have a yellow lab but max is now a black lab.
Have a great day all
Max and I are out

Minnows
Its Wednesday night already where is the time going? My story starts on Saturday I just got back from Kampala and two of my friends where working and I asked them what was going on tonight. They saids that they were going to cook an African meal. I asked of I could join and they said yes. So about 7 I went to Floor's house and a little bit later Rose came with the man course Minnows yes I said Minnows. So I cut the tomato's and onions, Floor made the Rice and also Helped rose with taking the heads off of the minnows. So when everything was done cooking we had rice then tomato,onion, and minnows on are plates. The taste was not bad it was not good but it was not bad.I can now say I am a ready fisherman because I ate minnows. So Shaun, Tempy, Boon, and Andy are not real fisherman.

Some New Adventures
It is now a beautiful Thursday night. This week as been a very good week. Let go in order. On Sunday night are phone rang it was the police we need to come down to the station. So the 2 founders of Noah's Ark went to the station an there was a six week old baby waiting for us to give it a great home. So we put him in the car and brought him back to Noah's Ark. His name is Yesser he is 8 pound 8 oz. He is very ill he has malaria, Very high fever over 104 degrees, and infection. So everybody please pray for him.
On Tuesday 2 friends and I went to Mukono for lunch and shopping (and I know what you are all thinking Brad shopping go figure) but I had to be back to teach a fire training to the staff. So my boss had a meeting to be at so he could not gave a us a ride to town. So he throw me the keys and asked if I knew how to drive a stick. I told him I grew up on driving a stick. He told me do not crash and hurry back. That was awesome I now can say I have drove in Africa were if you need a inch take it. That is how they drive over here.

Max's Bad Day
Hello Everyone-
On Monday morning max came to work with me like now normal. I get a phone call from one of my boss's and he told me to go and meet this insurance lady that is coming I said no problem. So she pulled up and we had are meeting and she wanted to see some of the children no problem i said. So we did that after that we went around the compound and show her what we doing, like I do very meeting with people from outside the compound. we were walking all around and was on the final leg of the tour and one of the kids that was walking with us yelled max is bleeding. I thought not to much of it because he just came out of the jungle so I thought he had some thorns or something like that. So about 1 to 2 minutes went by and the kid yelled again max is bleeding. So I looked and he had a pool of blood all around his paw. So I put my EMT train to use. I ripped off my shirt and rapped it around his leg and ran him up to the middle of the compound where I could get help. When we got there there was 2 meetings going on. They all looked at me and said what happened and I said max was cut. They all thought the monkeys got him. So 1 person ran for the first aid kit and the rest came to help. By the end of it all I was head to toe red of the blood and max was head to paw red from the blood, but he also got three stitches.
So I went and showered and changed then finish the tour with the insurance lady. When she got into her car she said something very interesting. She said of you would do this for a dog I know the children are very safe. I thought that was a very wierd statement. I thought look around we did all this for the children why wouldn't we do something like that, but whatever I guess Just Livin the Dream!!!!!
That was Max's and Mine very bad day.
The now cleaned up

I am sorry that I haven't updated the blog in a while, it has been super busy. I just got into the new short time office,trying to work with Max and Jolly, and now the Monkeys are back.
We just moved to the short time office. It is very nice to have an office that I share with only one person at a time not four.
We just got done working with Max and Jolly. It is going very well today we play with the children there as well. All the other times there was no children allowed for safety reasons. Max is coming to work with me now. Wherever I go he goes to and he is a lot happier.
The Monkeys I what can I say About the Monkeys, but a pain in the backside. They are back and mad. Last night and this morning they have been wait for Max to return home. They're getting ready to attack him.
Until next time

Fixing
Last Tuesday my brand new computer crashed. So now on monday night they are trying to fix it though the internet back in Minnesota. How neat what we can do with computers. It is kind of crazy because it is not like America wherer we do not have to worry about power going out your the internet just turning off. So I am kind of hopeing to have it done very fast before the power goes out. Not to much else going on right now.
Hopeing the computer is fixed
