I am learning so much. The other researchers have taught me alot about how to conduct a research study. Its really cool! Ive always worked in the buisness world, and feel I have a pretty good grasp on that but this is something totally different for me. We met all the translators yesterday and went through the interview proccess. I think its going to be really fun. There's been so much to do logistically, Im thankful that hasnt been my job!!
Spiritually the journey has begun. I spent the first night on the top deck of the house looking over lake Victoria as hundreds of fishing boats were working for the night. All lit with papter lanterns, I can only imagine that is what heaven will look like. Or maybe its the way the sky looked the night Jesus was born, lit with stars. I am so thankful. I am so amazed at the beauty of this place, these people, and the general spirit here. I cant stop smiling, even when Im doing something I dont want to do, its still fun.
Bungee Jumping was incredible!!!!!
