Its Monday Again!

The time has been flying here. Even though I miss everyone back home a lot I really love it here.  I'm really getting used to the area and learning to be a little more independent and willing to try things on my own.  I've actually been taking boda boda's by myself which is awesome. I've learned the prices and that makes it so much easier for me to get around. Here someone see's an American coming and the price of anything, no matter what, automatically doubles. So because I've been here 3 weeks and gotten to know the prices of things I make sure to get the "Ugandan" price. 

Today I woke up around 7:30 to get to the girls project by 8:30.  They girls are doing great on the jewelry, they're making it really quickly and pretty good quality for their first couple of pieces. Abby and I basically go to the house each day for about 2-3 hours just to make sure the women are making the jewelry to American standards and to make sure they understand they have love and support.  I had my tutoring session today, which is going really good. Everyone keeps saying I'm learning Luganda really quickly.  Its a pretty interesting language but something cool to learn.  The boys are doing great, my favorite part of the day with them is at night prayer and bible study.  We usually spend about an hour to an hour and a half singing praise and worship songs, doing a bible study lesson, the boys talk about what they learned in the lesson, then we pray.  Its awesome to see how much these kids love the Lord. After each lesson you would think they're all tired and ready to go to bed and ready to get it over with, but actually they all want to speak and talk about what they took from the lesson and what it meant to them. I think its amazing. 

I have found a very Americanized cafe that I love a ton, me and Abby come alot and get Cappuccino's.  Its called Java's, and serves awesome food and coffee.  I come here during the day to get work done, writing emails, working on the blogs, and handling correspondence stuff for the house.  Abby has put me in charge of most of the marketing and correspondence stuff for A Perfect Injustice and Hope House so that keeps me pretty busy during the day. Between that, tutoring, and working with Hope House my days are filled. By 4:30 I try to be back to the house because that's when the boys get home from school and I love playing cards with them, coloring, or reading books. So my days are pretty busy and they go by super quick.

I love it here and I cannot believe how the times flying. <3 Always Carla
