I just have to start out by saying that I absolutely LOVE being here in Uganda. Everyday is amazing. The people are amazing. And I am currently smiling a mile wide writing this because I am just so happy to be here. Today I must tell you all about my very dear friend, Jemima.Jemima is our cook. She prepares dinner for us Monday through Thursday. She is also a member of the Mbale branch, so I get to see her on Sundays as well. From the very first night Jemima came and cooked at our house, I knew we were destined to be close friends; our relationship continues to grow the longer I'm here. I don't know how I'll ever be able to leave her!!
She has such a beautiful personality and is so sweet. The other day when I was speaking with her she said, "Amanda, I do not know why I love you so much, but I do." Haha! I literally laughed out loud when she said this, but it honestly made my whole day!Tonight I had the opportunity to go to dinner with her and her husband, Anthony, and man-oh-man it was so much fun! They have been married for two years and are the most genuine and amazing people. I made sure to take my camera tonight so I could take some photos of them! Haha miniature photo shoot say what?! I loved it!
My friends, Uganda is incredible. I have grown so much as a person since I've been here. The opportunity to see such a different culture, live in it, and serve in it is such a powerful blessing. I am so, so grateful for this opportunity. I love Jemima and Anthony and am thankful for the life-long friendship we have created. Although they will not always be in my presence, they will forever be in my heart!Much love!
ALSO! Shout out to my youngest sister, Adeley! Today she turns 7! Happy birthday baby sis! Love and miss you!
