So finally a little farther a long in some computer work I have been asked to do. Its been really great to help people out here, down side is not enough time as I would like to do all the stuff they have asked. We have done so much and there has been so little time.
Being here has really made me miss Zimbabwe and how things were there. Undoughtedly things have changed becaue of poor leadership. I still can't get over the roads. I have been told now that roads are to be improved because of the meeting of the British Common Wealth nations. Supposidly the Queen is going to donate the funds as well as other countries will donate funds to improve various things in this country. The meeting is at the end of the year and they hope to have repaved a good chunk of the road system there.
People here are really friendly, they always ask what places we have seen of Uganda. We visited Murchison Falls(sp?) this weekend, it one of the places that flows into the Nile river. I have some really cool pictures of that place, very incredible view and scene.
One of the downsides to my trip is that I will not be able to experience church here. I am really kind of bummed, I really wanted to see how it compared to Zimbabwe way of doing church. I have been thinking quite a bit about church here. Some of it is western influenced, but a good chunk of it is there own. I keep thinking about Acts and the early church in this context. Unfortunatley, I don't know much about the culture here to really be able to answer questions I have. I wish I were to be here longer.
More to come.....
