So obviously I made it to Uganda the earlier part of this week. I am staying with a friend of mine and recovering from 2 very sleepless days aboard planes and attempting to deal with my jetlag and rather upset stomach since arriving.
So far its been a little different than I had planned. First, I am not staying a Kia's place this time, but with another friend, Aki. (I know, I know... their names are very similar. In fact they have teased that they will have kids named Kai and Ika.) I am very thankful for her hospitality while I'm in K'la. She lives not far from Mutungu where I thought I was going to stay, (actually I walked all the way to Kia's house the other day, and besides the problem of hills, it was not too far). However, she lives in an apartment complex which is 4 stories above a night club. So nights here have been a little noisy to say the least! Its like living over Aggieville times five. Also, its not far from a main road, so we hear trucks and bodas 24/7. Needless to say I am extremely thankful for the headphones Mo gave me for Christmas as they are amazing at cancelling the noise and I can just fall asleep to ma' Jesus music instead. :)
Kampala hasn't changed much. They are putting in a mall in Bugolobi and there are subtle changes here and there, but for the most part its still the dusty bustling big city that it always has been.
I have been looking into more things for acquiring my long term working permit visa and was a little concerned with the way the process will work and the time frame. But I firmly believe that God will work all things together for good as I love Him and believe this calling is from Him. If you get a moment to say a prayer for the process though, it would be appreciated. I will begin with my applications on Monday hopefully. Currently I have a one month provisional visa for me to get everything sorted with the visa.
There is so much to get done before I can get truly settled, but I am looking forward to how God may orchestrate it all.
