I could see... why you desire to go back! It's so funny that any other nation you go to, they greet you wholeheartedly. It's very different from the way we greet internationals here. You kinda of feel special and embarassed all at the same time (at least I do) when you are asked to stand up and give an impromtpu speech! Still, you feel like you're given significant things to do, and be a part of, when you are in a foreign country solely to serve!
My heart goes out to that girl too who was captured and had to witness what could have happened to her. The trama that people go through too. Seems to me that, once you meet people like that, or come into contact with people like that, it causes your heart to want to stay longer. Life becomes deeper, more real doesn't it?
Whatever you decide to do, I do wish the best for you! It's been cool to get to meet you before you went to Uganda and then after. :) I just wish I could come back more often. Too bad for student teaching! haha. Anyways, if you wanna stay connected: angs1027@yahoo.com.
Blessings to you Denice!
Elisa says "hi!" The girls and I were looking at all your pictures, up to Jan. 5th. Elisa was really excited to know that you were living with a family that has someone with the same name! She has a message for Elisa Hurley... "My name is Elisa, too. I live in Monrovia, California. Today it is sunny but really cold. I am 5 years old and I am in Kindergarten. Bye!" We are praying for you, Deniece!
Hi there I miss you! It sounds like you are having such a wonderful time! I love the pictures of the kids. They seem to radiate love and warmth! Be safe.
Love, Dee-Dee
P.S. - Fishies are doing fine. Bert got his fin stuck the first day so I went out and bought them the filter-thingy-cover. They are staying healthy!
Love! Hey, love! Glad things are going well! I love the pictures and the stories...oh, and the Fatty is great and sticking close. There's love for you...
I WILL MISS YOU!! I know you will be a big help in Uganda. I have no suggestions about what to see or do since I myself have not travelled abroad. Enjoy the trip and God Bless.
Awesome!! I am so excited for you!! One suggestion... if you can get it past customs, take some food along with you. :) I look forward to reading more blogs. We'll definitely need a pre-bon voyage night out...
Thanks for reading my blog! I'll be honest, I'm a talker not a writer, so please forgive me if my blogs are not as entertaining as you hoped they'd be...
I love traveling; I hate flying...how does one reconcile this so they can see the world? My solution is sleep deprivation before the flight and either a good stiff drink or a hearty sleeping pill once on the plane...if you have better suggestions, please let me know! December 23, 2006 marks the beginning of the trip of a lifetime (see blog entitled, "The First One" for more details...), so stay tuned for more in the days and weeks to co... full info
