1. It has been over a month since my last post.
2. A story for you:
A few weeks ago I was out to lunch with three women form from our church. We were towards the end of our meal when one of them says to the other:
"You better finish the food on your plate, because there are starving children in Somalia."
The third woman speaks up quickly: "It is Karamoja, there are starving children in Karamoja."
I couldn't help but laugh, my friends asked me why I was laughing and I told them that in America, people will say: "Finish your food because there are starving people in Africa."
They all thought this was funny, "Africa is so large! You should be more specific."
(There are 47 countries on this LARGE content of Africa, 53 if you count all the island nations.)
3. If you are missing some pictures of our cute boy there are some recent ones here and here.
4. North America is currently experiencing its summer season, but over here in Uganda it is "short-term missionary season." This article presents some interesting things to think about if you have ever been on a short term team or have supported someone or think you might want to join a short term team.
