Quick update

Hi, folks!  I'm in Uganda!  I've had limited internet access, because the wireless in our apartments hasn't been set up yet, so I've had little opportunity to post.  But orientation in Colorado was really great, and gave me a great perspective going into this trip.  The flight to Uganda was long, but considering that I ended up halfway around the world, very bearable.

The transition has been really good - everyone here is really nice, and I've been going through another orientation at the EMI East Africa office this past week.  There are 6 interns total - three from North America and three from Uganda, so it's been really fun getting to know each other.

Tomorrow, I'm going on a project trip to Gulu, in the northern part of Uganda.  We'll be working on this project: Hope Alive!
I'll be out of the loop for the next week or so, but hopefully I'll have lots of stories and pictures when I get back!

Also, I wanted to let you know that I'm at full support!  Thank you to everyone who gave to support my internship, and thank you to everyone who's been praying.  If you still want to give, the money will support EMI's work around the world, or possibly a future project trip for me.  If you're praying, don't stop!  This trip is still at it's beginning, and there are lots of challenges ahead, starting with this project trip.  Please pray:

• That our team of volunteers coming in from Uganda and North America will work well in the one week we have together
• For good communication with the local ministry (our client), Lugobo Baptist Church
• For energy, creativity, and perseverence as we try to plan out 350 acres in one week
• For protection, physical and spiritual

Thanks, everyone!
