Entebbe Airport experience.

Hello family and friends.

Hope all are doing well.

Here is a little update of my adventures in Uganda.

kampala was amazing, I had lost my ability to make decisions coming from 8 months in Beni to a huge town like Kampala.

But I got some delicious ice cream, food and some much need pool time.

K enjoy the photos and video.

at this point they said they had it contained... hmmm

watching people walk around like nothing was going on was entertaining, (don't mind the huge flames of death behind you.)

(Ralph Laurn?)

Brandon and his faces, and his mustache is gone as well.

I know don't judge me, it is gone now as you can see above.

This is the pool overlooking Cassio lodge in Kampala.

Ok so I know that i had a ridiculous mustache, It is gone now to the joy of many others

But where and world can you grow a mustache and not be judged?

Exactly! I knew you would see it my way...

But seriously all i could do was laugh about the fire. No one was hurt, just another day in Africa.

I am doing well. classes are underway again for me and going well.

I just gave another assignment for my students and this time they are doing a skit/ sketch of around the house and we had a role reversal. This should be interesting. Most of the students are not too sure about it but i can't wait to see.

As some of you know here the roles for women and men are very different.

I believe that it is important to change the stigma behind that. Not that this assignment will, but also to hopefully change the perception of some students, for the better.

Things you can pray for:

• For students and staff
• The Forest Hill Church team coming in January
• The Town of Beni, and for corruption to end
• And for the Fruits of the spirit

Thanks for the support and prayers always.

Kampala, Uganda

Hey folks Moose here.

So I am in Kampala Uganda for a little break from Beni Town in DR Congo.

This place is really amazing. I look around and I see how people are talking and interacting and it is sometimes hard to think that I am still on the same continent of Africa.

Kampala has so much to offer and it is a bit strange when everyone understands you and doesn't stare at you like an alien.

But I have been able to relax and eat some delicious food, sleep in, and swim in some amazing pools. Pictures will come later of one of these amazing pools.

One of the pools i went too reminds me of Wilderness lodge at Disney World. A while back my family went the the lodge and stayed for a week. amazing pools and just cool outdoor lighting.

But since i have been here i have been really being a lazy bum. I am staying in the same compound as a friend of mine that I went to AppState with. Her name is Jill she teaches second grade here at a school just down the road. She is a great host and is escorting us around the city.

The food that we have had has been amazing. oh and ice in my drink has been a whole new experience. You really don't think about things that you take for granted until you have been in a situation where you don't have those things. Then enter into a place that just blows you away and it is a bit overwhelming. a lot like drinking from a fire hose.

The first night we were here we went to this place called Lotis Mexicana, nice little Italian place... haha kidding. The chips and salsa were delicious, and the Chicken enchiladas were even better. We didn't have to wait 2 hours to get our food and it was hot and hit the spot.

We also tried out a place the other day called New York Kitchen. The pizza and milkshakes are amazing and a great place to just sit and feel like your in another world. I also found out that Lotis and New York Kitchen are owned by the same person. A little taste of america in Uganda.

The Pool experience was amazing, this hotel we went to after playing an interesting game of volleyball on a slanted grass court had an amazing view of Lake Victoria and the Kampala City. The pool was amazing. I didn't realize how rejuvenating a pool could be for me. But needless to say i am still on the pool hunt here in Kampala, we found one the other day that is amazing that we are going to spend most of the day at on Thursday.

So things are going well here, getting some great rest and just hanging out. Trying to recharge my batteries. Doing an ok job so far. Thanks for the awesome prayers and thoughts.

Things you can be praying for:

• My head and heart and my job in the DR Congo
• Discernment and wisdom
• the Fruits of the spirit in our home and in me.

Hope your all doing well.
