Worlds Collide.

Yay! My dad has been coming to Africa the last couple of years with Seaside.  The other day i met my dad and Kirk in Uganda and have been having an absolute blast with them.  Its been fun to see a piece of the Africa that they have experienced… finally being able to put faces with stories that I have heard and making some new friends of my own. I have also been able to introduce them to some of the people that I so dearly love in Uganda and am looking forward to them driving us back to Kenya next week where I can introduce them to a piece of my Africa.
Here are some pictures of our time so far:
 

Drawing with the kids outside of the church in Mumutumba.

 
 Some new friends.
 
 
 
 I was letting the kids take pictures with my camera… its hard to explain ‘aim and then shoot’ with out a translator… but its fun and digital pictures delete easily when needed.

I love these kids!
 
 
 Brenda, Gorrett, Me, Dad, Eva… some of the girls I spent a lot of time with while in Uganda.
They were telling me about how they have been reading the copy of the Chronicles of Narnia that I left with them. They just finished Prince Caspian and LOVED it!
