I'm even starting to look African!

Well... I spoke too soon on my last blog... I got sick the day after I said that I wouldnt get sick the whole time that I'm here! It was only a 24 hour thing, but it sucked staying in bed all day! It's no fun being sick and it's even worse being sick in Africa. But its all good now, I'm back up and running. Speaking of running, I wish I would have brought my running shoes because some people ran a half marathon along the Nile yesterday that I would have loved to do. They said it was so beautiful! I am getting so out of shape except for all the walking I do each day. But I miss having a gym to go to.
The power has been going out a lot this week because of the weather. It was out yesterday when I usually update my blog. It rains like crazy here!! In fact, it rained so much yesterday that part of the brick and cement wall around our house erroded from the ground being too soft. So our gaurd had to work extra hard las night because as of now people can just walk into our yard.
I have African hair!! No, it's not a black girl fro... but it will do I guess. I spent six hours on Friday getting my hair braided. I got dark brown extensions and had them braided in with my hair so the blonde mixed in with the brown makes a cool design. My hair has never been so thick and long! Its half way down my back and I cant even grip all my hair in one hand! It's so heavy! Haha. But it looks awesome!
We went to Kampala yesterday, the capital of Uganda. It was nice spending a day in the city. We had some amazing Indian food, went and watch Angels and Demons in the theatre, and shopped for anything that looked somewhat like American food. The movie was really nice, it was like being back in the states for a few hours. It's funny how things switch up here, I spent very little money back home on food, but here... I spend a lot on food when I leave Lugazi! There is not much of a selection in Lugazi. Good thing food is pretty cheap in Uganda.
As for the work, things are going pretty well. We found another womens group to work with. They really want business training most of all. I am going to work a little bit with youth ourtreach this week and we have a couple ESL classes set up as well. I am volunteering with the LDS church this weekend to work at an immunization clinic. So that should be good. The work is getting more prosperous as we go along and its crazy how time is flying by.
