Bryan, Thomas, Noah, and everyone!
Greetings from Uganda! Today was one of our hottest days and I am definitely feeling tired and getting ready to come home. We spent yesterday going to the villages and there are not words to describe what I saw. Our animals and criminals have a MUCH higher standard of living than the villagers. They live on dirt floors in mud shacks with a sheet for the doorway. The one family we visited had one crop, sweet potatoes and that is all they have to eat year round. I can not get their image out of my mind and I feel helpless to do anything of lasting change for them. And yet when we meet them, they are so humble and gracious – they gave us the seats (if they had them) and they sat on the floor. They were so happy to have us and show us their homes and crops and children. It was so unbelievable; I don not know how I am feeling about it. The pictures will show everything. Tomorrow, we go to a town called Jinja to do our shopping. I am hoping to find some neat gifts to bring home. Thomas & Noah, I miss you lots and hope school and soccer and baseball are going well. One month to go!! Bryan, are you getting tired of being the mom and the dad? Maybe you can come next year!
Hoping everyone is doing well and you are enjoying some warmer weather. Looking forward to seeing you all soon,
Xxxooo, Janis
