Kapchorwa!!!!!!!!

This is the view from where we gathered this past Sunday for a worship service. I heard one Ugandan say that when you sit and look out at the view here you are sitting looking out at the future.hmm...I liked that. ( the picute was taken by jenna davis- my camera broke before I went so I didn't take it. But luckily I fixed it today.)
I had a great time there. I learned soooo much and did so many new things. Here is a list of them(not to mention I really loved my host family there!):
1.I smashed a big spider on the wall and watch in horror as tons of baby spiders came crawling out from under my shoe!
2. learned how to really wash clothes by hand in a bucket ( I have been doing it every week here but this was the first time that someone really showed me the correct way to do it.)
3.Learned how to cook matooke, posho, cabbage, and greens African style!!! and learned some Kupsabin words.
4. Sat on a cliff that over looked the valley below and an eagle( I think) swooped down into the valley and as it was flying down it's wing touched my foot!!!
5. drank sour milk!!! oh yah just about every night that I was there. Um lets just say it was sour and looked liked baby vomit with specks of ash in it. ( the ash was from a specific tree that they burned and stirred in the sour milk to kill the bacteria.)
6. Got rammed by the family's cow. I was fine only got some scratches.
7. "Fetched" water from the village tap.
8. Killed and help slaughter a chicken.
9. Then ate it's gizerd, an egg that hadn't been layed yet that was on the inside, and some other shady pieces of meat that had tendons or cartalige on them -not sure. I just chewed twice, smiled and swallow it as fast as I could. hahaha
10. Went on a 6 hour hike on the weekend though the hills to 3 of the water falls that were in the area
11. Then a group of us stood under one of the waterfalls on a giant rock and let the water from the falls come splashing down on us.
12. Took my first real hot shower since coming here to Uganda at the place that we stayed for the weekend by Sipi falls.! It was great to really wash all the soap out of my hair. ( as a side note I really don't mind bucket baths but it was really nice not to have to bend down to bath myself.)

I have alot of other stories about my family and other things that happen but don't have time to write them all down. So you will just have to ask me about them when I get home:)

Thanks for reading my blog and keeping me in your thoughts and prayers.
love
