Plastic Skating

Only in Africa could you find ice skating on something other than ice. My roommate Megan and I just went ice skating on a floor that was some kind of plastic. It was crazy...definitely more difficult to skate on...very slippery. I felt like I was five years old again, learning to skate for the first time. It was quite the adventure!

June Events

The month of June went by quickly. The two major things that happened were that my friends Katie and Joy visited me (yay!) and that we moved offices.

Having Katie and Joy here was so much fun. They got to see my life in Kampala as they took part in Saturday club, coaching, and other office activities. We also did some fun things, such as visit the source of the Nile River down in Jinja and go shopping at the Equator. It was great to be able to share everything with them.

As far as moving offices goes…it is something that has needed to happen for a long time. We had been in a two room office located next to the church, but we were bursting from the seams. The new place we have is a two-story house with tons of space! We’re still in the process of settling in but are enjoying having room to spread out in and space to store all our supplies. It is a big answer to prayer.
