-You make macaroni and cheese (from America!) … only to find out that the milk you made it with has gone sour.
-Your dog dies of some mysterious tropical doggie illness.
-You come home from a bike ride muddy, sweaty, and greasy … only to find that the water has been turned off and you can’t take a shower.
On days like this, Jennifer and I sit down and tell each other why we love Uganda, because otherwise we might forget. Our reasons include:
-Teaching the youth class at church
-Walking up the road in the late afternoon and seeing the sun reflecting off the waterfalls on Mt. Wanale
-When two women just passing by the church on a Sunday morning feel compelled to come in
-Days when your students have “ah-HA!” moments
-Matoke (cooking bananas) and beans
-Playing cards all afternoon when the power is out
-Living two hours from the Nile
-Watching people from every tribe and nation come to learn more about Jesus
-Bicycle taxis
-Frogs that sing lullabies in muddle puddles in the back yard
-Children who laugh with you while you’re out running
-Friends who drop by unannounced during school holidays
We’ve had a lot of “We Love Uganda” days lately … it’s a good thing we love it here so much.
