I love America!

Thurs 11^th

Went to Kabira to type up blog. Had nachos. 

Felt depressed.

John cheered me up with a chat about the possibility of helping adults to read and write.

Fri 12^th

Pamper morning in Uganda = washed hair and shaved armpits and legs = normal morning in England.

Had the Americans over to the centre and played the chocolate game, spoons, and psychiatrist. Illnesses included being Bailey, being children and being racist Africans. They had never played the chocolate game before. Deprived.

Craig very excited to see a) a TV and b) The Discovery Channel.

Sat 13^th

Walked into Ntinda with Beki who was told by a passing man called Patrick to, ‘dress like an African’. Small debate about clothing, modesty and the fact that Beki isn’t African.

Watched Beki have extensions put in her hair. For three hours.

Played psychiatrist. Our illnesses will not be repeated here.

Went to Bancafe Coffee for our last night with Paula and Rachel before they return to Chicago.

Sun 14^th

Went to Watoto Church Central. Craig played lead guitar and a solo during the collection. Go Craig!

A man called Humphrey preached.

Bought a dress from the craft market.

Asked God for a sign about a job in Uganda and he gave me a big one. Go God!

Paula left for Chicago. Sad times.

Mon 15^th

Put new dress on and went for breakfast.

Me: Morning Ephraim. Do you like my new dress?

Ephraim: Yes. I like it. Thank you for buying it.

Me: That’s ok.

Started application form.

Met Rachel at Nob View Hotel for last swimming before she goes home.

Said goodbye to Rachel then bumped into her at the gym. Said goodbye again then bumped into her at the internet cafe. Walked to Quality Supermarket and said goodbye.

Tues 16^th

Beki rang at 8am to say she had gone into work but there was no one there because it was a public holiday and no one had told her.

Decided to surprise Rachel by going to the Americans’ house.

Took Rachel’s braids out.

Had an American geography lesson.

All went to the pool.

Beki said her ideal honeymoon would be two weeks going round Disney World Florida in a fat suit.

Said goodbye to Rachel for the last time. Sad times.

Had pizza and a glass of wine. Mmmmmmm.

Wed 17^th

Rained after two days of no rain.

Played with Anita.

Did more of application form.

Thurs 18^th

Sent application form in after praying over the email.
