SNE. First ever "Halloween" in Uganda.. except it's not really a thing here. Nonetheless, we had a fake jack-o-lanturn and some candy!
I made REAL chocolate chip cookies, with REAL chocolate chips. First time for that here in Africa!

Today we ventured to the other side of Kampala, further than we'd gone yet! Took us an hour to persevere through traffic and find our new bible study location, and under 20 minutes to get back home. Good ol' Kampala traffic!
Also, I burnt the roof of my mouth on food today.. I've never done that before.. and I don't plan on doing it again.

Walked through my neighbourhood and made my way to a coffee shop for a date with God. It went well, he's pretty romantic

A Saturday event?? First time I've been up at the crack of dawn and getting to campus on a Saturday, eager for our international speakers to present. Although it's not the first time that I've expected something to start on time... and it started 2 hours late.. TIA.

Today I met a handful of important people! First time I'd met Judy Douglass, wife of president of campus crusade international, and some African women leaders too. Really excited for the seminars they are leading tomorrow at MUK!

Definitely had a new experience today working with the ministry. We had a speaker come in and talk about social evils. It was an interesting "conflict of cultures", where the Ugandans loved every word he said, but we Canadians felt quite awkward and uncomfortable. In a nutshell.

SNE. First time I'd seen pastor Bim take the stage, well done!

Something New Everyday. Today I met some new neighbours. Wow. They are refugees fleeing persecution from their country for being Christian. God keeps opening my eyes to the freedoms and wealth we have in North America, we take so much for granted.
