We are all safely back in Kampala after a long 9-hour bus ride...not fun. On our way to Kampala, we actually picked up a salesman who stood in the middle and tried selling things for an hour and a half. He offered a variety of lotions, cold medicines, and even womanizing power (it was a liquid which was kept in a small flask...very sketchy). He also tried to marry all of the Mzungu women in the front of the bus. Ah Uganda...how I had forgotten its chaotic streets filled with garbage. This week we are trying to fit in some last things before we leave this beautifully colorful country. Go-Ed has us pretty busy this week with debriefing sessions and final presentations for class.
I would have guessed that this week would be so sad and stressful but I have had the best peace about everything. I am neither anxious to leave nor worried about the weeks to come. I can only just keep telling myself never to forget this amazing semester or the people I have met that have made a permanent impression on my heart. I thank God for it all. He has surely granted me this unmistakable peace that calms my heart and fills my mornings with joy.
