“This is Uganda!”, my host said as we watched a chicken being killed for our lunch.
We are living like the locals this month! We don’t have running water where we are staying. We pump our water from a well and carry it back home in jerrycans!
We wash our dishes outside!
We take bucket showers!
Who needs a toilet when you have a hole in the ground?
We drive motorcycles everywhere we go!
What we have done in Uganda has been the most exciting, uncomfortable, and perspective changing adventure I’ve had on the World Race! For our ministry we have preached in a women’s prison every week. (I wasn’t allowed to take pictures in the prison, but I so badly wish I could have!)
We talked at a school!
We preach out on the streets at night and hundreds of people (200-300 people a night) end up gathering around to listen to what we have to say! We dance with them, praise Jesus with them, and dozens of people have ended up accepting Jesus as their Savior!
We walk through the village to visit people in their homes to pray for them!
We also get the privilege of living with the best cook in Uganda, Mama Marine! She cooks everything outside on this little charcoal stove!
This is a giant mushroom she found outside that she ate for breakfast! 
We got to record a song and music video with an African producer!
We got to witness how Africans give birth! The woman on the bed was the one in labor. The woman with her own baby on her back was the woman who was helping her give birth!
These women are TOUGH! They have no access to any pain medication or epidurals. The women in Africa are forced to have natural births. Most hospitals here are community hospitals. From what I witnessed, I walked into a large room and saw people lying on the floor, sick with malaria with mosquito nets hanging over them while this woman was in labor in the same room! There was no running water, soap, or any way of relief for this woman. I applaud her and the many women in Africa who go through this!
Out of all eleven months of the World Race, this month was by far the hardest. It was hard mainly because it’s month eleven and I think the extreme travel, constant change, and living in constant community 24/7 has officially caught up to me. I’ve never felt so incredibly drained in my life! This month has taught me how to fully depend on God for literally everything. I had to pray and ask Him to fill me with the physical and emotional energy I needed everyday.
We ended this exciting month the right way by going to an African safari!
Thank you so much for reading 🙂
