Come here you rich white person!!

Living in Uganda is very different from living in the United States. Reason #1 being there is only one season. Locals say that there are two seasons, a wet season and a dry season. But being from a country that has four distinct seasons, it is difficult to distinguish between the two seasons and we like to just call the one season HOT. Because that is just what it is...HOT. However, even with it being dreadfully hot, there is always a very nice cool breeze so we rarely ever sweat. Not sweating is definately positive about the breeze, the downside of that is when we are wearing a shirt without sleeves, we get burnt easily without realizing that we are burning. And that is what has happened, we are very burnt, so pray for healing of the burns!!!

Reason #2 for it being different is that you walk outside of your house and clap your hands and a "boda, boda" (which is a little mo-ped type bike) comes flying down the street knocking down all the other drivers who are trying to come up to you. These nifty drivers will get you to point A to point B in no time...but you gotta watch out because they like to raise the prices at times.

Reason #3 is that everywere we go, we are noticed. We mean we know we are good looking and all, haha, but seriously, the whole town stops and stares. Often times they hollar out Oh-lee-oh-tee-ya Mzungu. Translation- "How are you rich white person" Our response being Jhen-dee Moo-doo-gah-voo. Translation "Very fine you black person" We think that it may be offensive to call them black people, but who gives them right to call us rich white people :-)

AmyRose is going to get hit by a vehicle sometime soon. Which isn't good because Stacie says that she needs to walk faster because if she gets hit, we are not paying for it and if a leg is broken, we will just have to tape it up with our first aid kit. AmyRose thinks that is ridiculous. :-)

We are registering as an NGO tomorrow. It will be really nice because then we can start on the orphanage. We have found a house that is huge. It has nine bedrooms, three bathrooms, a huge dining area and a servants quarters hooked onto the house. It has rich soil for growing crops and a nice yard for play. It has a three car garage that could be turned into a three room school-the garage is HUGE!! The house is also on the beach side and if the house is purchased than we would have part of the beach property as well. This would be perfect for the future because if you have beach property than you can set up a buisiness on the property and teach the orphans how to run a buisiness as they get older in the orphanage. We feel like God is giving us big plans. So be praying for these plans. The total cost of the house is going for $355,000...so be praying that the funds will come in if that is what the Lord is wanting. We feel like it is since we are really not cool enough to come up with all that God has put on our hearts. Thank you again for all of your support..without it, it would have been difficult getting here!! love you all!!
