This past week was really good! On Wednesday we went to the local hospital. Ces and I were able to scrub into another surgery! I couldn't believe it the lady was having a hernia repair and she was wide awake during the whole thing she told the doctor she could feel him moving around fixing the hernia! I felt so bad for her!!!! But it was really cool to watch the surgery and see how they do the surgery! Before the surgery we went to the pediatric ward and played with the kids that were sick. I colored with a little boy named Trevor who had a inguinal hernia. He was so happy that someone was playing with him.
Megan and i went to the soccer field later that day and taught the soccer team who are all orphans about dental hygiene it was really cool. I can't remember what else i really did this week expect ces and i taught our guard how to play nerts best night playing cards!
About every day we go to a womens group or school they are so happy we are there so they have us introduce ourselves. We have to talk for at least three minutes! lets just say i am pretty good and winging it with the public speaking!!!!!
Saturday was awesome we got a small group together and went to the source of the NILE SO cool we had a little boat ride out to the spot. Then we went to Jinja and ATE INDIAN FOOD SO DELICIOUS!! the most relaxing day ever.
Sunday we went to church and i now understand what the churches were like that my brothers were serving in. The members here are so cool. I loved fast and testimony meeting IT wasn't just a time to tell stories, these people have such hard lives and still manage to come to church. I am also so grateful we have churches so close to us because we have to drive for at least an hour to get to church and its kind of an expensive ride too.The members/missionaries had us do everything! teach the lessons give talks sing play the piano.. and we make up more then half the ward!
HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY!!!!!
I had the best fourth of July Our group went to Kampala to the US Embassy. I didn't realize how many whites live here. there were about 300 people there. we had an AMERICAN meal dancing singing and FIREWORKS! SO COOL
This week Some of us went to a small village and started building a mushroom house they are hard to make especially when you don't have all the equipment you need. The thing that was the craziest for me was that they didn't use any cement they had us grab rocks to fill in the holes... I hope it stays together!!!
Well i can't remember anything else right now but i MISS EVERY ONE AND HOPE everyone is doing great! LAURA please email me!!!
