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.

Bad News

On Feb 22nd we lost a child here at Noah's Ark. We got him in Sept at the time he was so sick and basically very breath that he took it could if been his last. We got him healthy again. The last month he was going up and down with his health so we start feeding him with IVs. Last week he went and had surgery and it was stopped 3 times and the last time a Doctor form Canada did the surgery.
The day that he died he was very relaxed and the doctors were feeling very good about that they thought he was starting to improve and then that night he passed.

Rest In Peace

Enoch WE LOVE YOU HERE AT NOAH'S ARK

Parents

My mom and dad were here for most of feb. It was nice to see the again, and it was nice for them to see what I do. It all started when I picked them at the airport and when we were on the way home very word that they said I knew it was coming one way or another. So that was a lot of fun just for them to see how different it actually is. We had a lot of fun together we went to the north to see animals and we also went on a River boat ride to see more animals on the Nile. Then we went to the place the Nile River started it is a nice place. For the rest of the time they come with me to work and saw what I do all the time.

just so you know

They are 3 more I just wrote so please do not forget to read them and I hope you enjoy!!!

about me

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.
