Getting Robbed

On Tuesday of last week I was drivin in Kampala and I got robbed. I was in jam and the weather was nice it was about 90 so it was not to hot and it was to cold for the a/c. So I had both windows down and a guy comes to me and starts hitting my car and kicking it so I was getting pist off right. So I grabbed him and told him to stopped it, I thought he was just crazy right!!! when I sat back down in my car I turned and saw this guy with his arm in the car taking my phone. So I looked at him and told him to drop it. So he took it and started running so I jumped out if the car and started yelling theive theive while I was running after him. By the way I almost had then about 3 to 5 boda boda drivers jumped him and got my phone back for me. So I gave them 1000 shilling each is about 50 cent as award and a thank you they were very happy and so was I. On sunday I was talking to some of my friends about it and they were just 50 feet away from were I was and we did not even know it how funny.

Corba's

We are under attack as of late with the Corba's. They're attacking a lot of the the workers here. We have been very lucky that no one has been bitten by one. In the last 2 weeks their have been 5 seen and 2 have been in the attack mode from the stories I been told. I have only seen the last one because I almost stepped on it. I was in attack mode on the last corba I tried to kill it but it got away. Lucky Him and I hate snakes very very much.

Delivering

It all started on Sat the 21st when we got the a mother ready to deliver. So a missionary stay home to help out. I was going to Kampala to help a friend.
At about 2030 on sat night I got a phone call from the manager telling me that there was a lady at the gate that is already to deliver. So I told him to let her in and I will call the people that needed to be called. It turned out that she was not ready. So she slept the night in the clinic and the next day she was ready to deliver. So the next evening she was just getting ready to deliver so I went down to take photo’s and to help if I could.
It was the 1st for this lady that one of the reasons it took so long and she was just married at 19 so she didn’t understand the whole process of child birth.
I was in the delivery room during the delivery. So I was the go for it guy and to me that was ok because I believe that you need that guy too. So when it was time I got to see the baby crowning. It was not like in EMT classes that I took on child birth.

Church + Rain

Church + Rain what can you say we do not think about it has a big deal. On Sunday the 25th my boy's and myself were in church. Church had just started and we started singing like normal and it is the rainy season so it started to rain, so we just continued to sing no big deal right its normal. It was not a normal day at church it was plan to do more singing than normal, so at this point we are into the service for about 1 hour now and the rain is continuing on and on and getting louder and louder. We are in a building with no glass on the windows and just a tin roof so you can imagine how loud it was. I was in the 2nd row about 5 feet from the pastor and I could not even hear him that's how loud it was. We just finished the last song and we were about a half hour left of the service when the pastor stopped the service and told us to go home. That was the 1st time in my life that church was cut short do to rain.
When we tried to leave very door was flooded, the whole inside of the building was wet and everyone was very wet themselves. When we were leaving we ran to the car so we were driving and we have to go up a dirt hill. I was half way up and was starting to lose grip I thought to myself sh@# I am in a mudslide. So I turned the wheel and got some grip back and just hit the gas and I made it though. It was a very exciting day!!!!!!!!

Returned Home to Uganda

I have been home for almost 1 Month now! The weather is great it's in the mid 80's to 90's most days it is the rainy season. Since I have been home I am trying to get caught up with the work.
One of the 1st days that I was back I was working in our Clinic and we delivered the second baby boy since we opened how exciting I thought. We had the 1st baby a couple of days before I got back. Otherwise it has been very boring same old same old.

On the night of August 23rd I was walking back to my home and told max to get him and so kept on walking back homeand when I got home Max was foaming from the mouth and he was losing saliva by the gallon. So I want to my friend Mariska's house and I asked her do we have Poisonious toad she did not know. We then called Peit and he said yes then I gave the phone to Mariska to get the directions so I can help max.
So there we were in Piets bathroom she looking for charcoal pills and I am trying to make Max to vomit. If you were watching you would be laughing Mariska found the pills then I put pills in peanut butter then max would take them. So for the rest of the night I was watching him to make sure he was ok.

Riot's

The last week from Thursday until Saturday they're was a riot in Kampala the capital city. It was all trible related fighting but it was not safe for anyone to leave the compound. Here in Mukono we were all right in the middle of it all. So on Thurday I went to Mukono and they're were trees down and people running around.
They're were some killed in this whole thing. One day only 10 people were killed in Kampala and in Mukono 2 people were killed, so it was pretty serious.
