Settling Down

So we just got to Kampala. From what I've seen so far, I really like it. We've been training for the past 2 weeks in Johannesburg, South Africa. It was kind of tough because we never left the retreat center that we were training at. I learned a lot and I definitely made some good friends, who will be in South Africa, Malawi & Botswana. I miss you guys already. We flew into Uganda right when the sun was setting over Lake Victoria. It was amazing! I definitely took some pictures of that. It took us a while to get out of the airport, but everything went smoothly. When we got outside, some guys started shaking my hand. They were very nice. But then they insisted on pushing the luggage cart for me. I said "No thank you" a few times. He was very persistent. I didn't like the idea of someone running off with our luggage within the first 5 minutes of being in the country. One of the girls then informed me that this man was our driver. Haha. I felt kind of stupid. Anyways, we settled into our house. It's way more than i was expecting. Amazing. Shortly after getting here, we decided to go to the market to get some food. This is the best part. We turn on the radio in the car and you would never guess what was playing.... Tim McGraw - Where the green grass grows. YES! COUNTRY MUSIC IS PLAYED IN AFRICA. People actually listen to it. I felt very much at home. We got back with the food and made our first meal in Africa. We had pasta with alfredo sauce and bread! It was pretty good.
