My last week

I cant believe how quickly time has passed this summer. I feel like I just got out of school, yet here I am in my last week in Uganda. Today was my last official day working at Zana school. Their exams start tomorrow, and Tony is taking Darlene and I to the equator. I will return on friday, but just to say goodbye. I have really enjoyed getting the oppurtunity to teach at Zana School. It was so difficult and shocking during the first few days, but after I adjusted I became comfortable there. I have really enjoyed the kids, and I will be so sad to leave them. I was just getting to know them, and now I will be saying goodbye. The best part of Zana was the chance to really form friendships with the other teachers. I worked with a woman named Grace, and I really enjoyed her. Breaks in the teacher's lounge were always an adventure, and it will be sad to see them end.
But I still have 5 days left, and I can't wait to see what else God has planned for me in the last few days. I miss you all back at home, and I can't wait to see you all in a week! I continue to pray for you.

a week in zana school

Hey guys! Its been another week in Uganda. Today was friday, and it wrapped up my first full week at Zana school. Teaching at Zana school has been a challenge and a blessing. Everything about the way school is conducted in Uganda is different than what I'm used to, so I am learning every day. I have been able to form good relationships with both teachers and students, which has made it a really fun experience. The teachers are trying to teach me Lugandan, but it always ends with them laughing at me. It's a fun way to bond with them.
Everyday I am given more and more responsability at the school, and so it becomes more challenging, yet more fun everyday. Today I stayed to take the afternoon meal with the other teachers, and we ate posho and beans, which is a staple for them. One thing I have learned about Ugandans is that they LOVE salt.
This week at the Eby's we have had a lot of power outages, most of the time no internet, and our water has been turned off. It's been fun getting back to simpler days. The past few weeks have been very dry, and so it was a relief this morning to wake up to the sound of some much needed rain!
I am posting some pictures from the two weeks I was in the villages, sorry it took so long to get photos up!
