I haven't written a blog in a while. But I feel like nothing's really happened. It's just...life. School, friends, meals...whatever. I've watched a lot of movies lately; I borrowed a bunch of Disney DVDs from Krista, one of the USP girls. She bought 5 DVDs in Kampala; each has about 5-12 movies on it. Uganda is quite illegal in their movie making. I haven't had a lot of homework. I missed a quiz because I skipped class. I haven't locked my keys in my room in a while. Me and Rusty had our year anniversary. It rained finally. I haven't gotten any mail. I applied for student ministry leadership at Biola. I watched Seven Pounds. I covered a lot of books at the children's library. I learned about Compassion, AIDS, debt, aid and trade, politics, colonialism, discipleship, myself, God, etc. I went to a concert-type deal. They sang Everyday and it about made my week. That's one of my longterm favorite worship songs. I have another new one; it's called Days of Elijah.
Time is passing way too fast. Our classes are officially done on April 8th. Then the next week we have finals. Then we leave for Rwanda on April 23rd. I have less than a months with the UCU students. In a lot of ways, I feel like I'm just getting comfortable and settled with the girls on my hall.
I'm still definitely enjoying my time and my experiences here, but a lot of the time I'm also ready to come home. I'm sick of being away from people. I want to just be with people and talk to them, not having to wait for emails which rarely, if ever, come or for the time here to match up with the time at home. I want good food. I want air conditioning.
My title refers to one of the friendliest guys here, Bob Charity. I think he recognizes my face, but still has no idea what my name is.
Vaya con Dios.
