A few last stories!

Hi. I came into town to say goodbye to a few of my Ugandan friends, so I am using it also as a time to get out a last minute blog. After tomorrow I do not know how much internet access I will have, as I will be traveling.

I will go back to the guesthouse after this, and try to actually witness the slaughtering of our Thanksgiving Turkey and two chickens... yikes!!! However, there really is something peaceful about knowing where your Turkey and Chickens have come from. To see them riding upside down on your friend's bicycle hand bars and know that they have REALLY been free range and hormone free. Though I think seeing their neck's chopped off may make me vomit, I feel I need to have at least a bite of the meat to pay homage to my little friends and their lives. But we will see what really happens.

The other day when we had our friends over for dinner we made them a pizzookie! Chocolate Chip Cookie Pie with melted ice cream in the middle.... YUM!!! It was a new taste and sensation for the Ugandan's and Judith did her little praise God dance! It was very funny. Our friends are funny and the phrases that come out of their mouth are hilarious. My friend Peter was trying to listen to the ipod the other day, and the earphone kept falling from his ear. We told him to stick it in his ear better and his response was, "I am fearful it will pierce my drum!" Then we offered my friend Timothy Gobbstoppers that one girl from the team had left with us, and he went to bite it and almost broke his tooth and said, "I think these are stones. Can I have another stone please?" It is just funny how things are translated so different. Instead of saying, "can you move over, please" They get in a taxi and tell you to "extend that way". I will miss my friends here. And will really miss Fiona. I told her yesterday that I only had two more days here. She became very silent and I asked her if she was ok. Her response that almost broke my heart, "I am sad you will leave me." UGHH... can't I just put her in my suitcase?

Anyway... I am off now. Must get back to the house to cook and see the turkey off as he leaves his life here as he knows it.

Wish me luck that I can witness it. Hope all is well and I love you!
Thanks for the comments and notes. More when I can. Until then, you are all in my heart!

Peace & Blessings!
