1. I avoid taxi parks like they are the devil incarnate. I am ridiculously scared of being robbed, mugged, or pick pocketed from there in all the hubbub.
2. I don't load airtime. Like ever. Unless I specifically need to call you about something. I do however keep my internet plan up to date on my smartphone.
3. I act all assimilated to Ugandan culture most of the time. I scoff at people who think I dont eat local food or haul my water in jericans. But I secretly still go to the coffee shop when I need my "me time".
4. I dislike most other "bazungu". I dislike going places where they usually hang out and I dislike doing things they usually do as if I am a tourist. This unfortunately puts a large damper on my photo journalism projects.
5. I have crazy things happen to me all the time and I am afraid that I largely fail to document them. I think this stems from part "no one at home would believe this" and part "this seems normal now".
6. I would give anything for a home cooked meal of one of my Mom's famous recipes. Finding ingredients is hard, cooking with no oven is hard, and most days I just give up trying to make my recipes from home.
7. God is incredible. No, like really incredible. I get blown away every day by the way He protects me and my heart, the way He divinely provides for me just when I need it, and the way He surrounds me and builds me up. This Kansas girl would be sunk here in Uganda if it were not for His amazing love. Follow His heart beloved and you will never need fear the adventures that He has for you!
