Uganda, I would remember you because of:
1. First time experiences on:
–
Labor & delivery room on
this mission journey.
–
Witnessing a rare fetal
abnormality known as anencephaly, a serious birth defect in which a baby is
born without parts of the brain and skull
–
Slaughtering chicken
–
I never thought I would ride
a motor-bike in my life time until I arrived on your land. Motor-bike, aka
‘boda boda’ are the main way of transportation in places far away from Kampala,
the capital city
–
Eating cassava
–
Rafting the Nile
–
Bungee jumping, again into
the Nile River. Craziest thing I had ever done in my entire life!
–
Running through banana
plantation
–
10K, done, check it off the
list!
2. Others:
–
Ate a lot of sweet potatoes.
I didn’t like them before—
–
For the most part, the
natives thought I was Ugandan, and would just speak to me in their native
tongue. No clue of what they were saying.
–
There was no power in our
home; the shower was outside where others could know you were taking one, since
they could see your head; the toilet had a hole in the ground.
Uganda, you will be in
my heart!
And Thank You for the beautiful, tasty, holy, scary, and adventures experiences you have given me.
