Week 3

Learning to Fly

A landscape in Ddewe

Hey everybody!

It's your favourite time of the week!

This week flew by so fast, I can't even believe we are headed into week four of the transfer. I am loving it so much out here! Thus, I decided to quote Tom Petty in the title (yes, I can still remember a little bit of the music I listened to at home!)

The highlight of the week was going out to Ddewe on Tuesday! It is a more rural area near Kajjansi. We took brother Odoch with us as a translator (the lady we were teaching only spoke Luganda). That is where most of the pretty pictures below came from!

Thursday: We went on Exchanges. Fun Times. Elder Quateng and I had a blast. We taught like seven lessons. 

Friday: Sad day. All of our appointments fell through. However, we had a district lunch which was fun! Surprise! our last appointment of the night didn't fall through after all! They came rolling up on a Boda right as we started walking home (half an hour late)

More Ddewe

Saturday: Elder Brewer was making some Bisquik biscuits his mom sent him, and he dropped it on the floor. He scraped up all of the powder and made/ate them anyway. Legendary. He offered me one, but I passed... and decided to boil a sausage and wrap it in Chapate (those tortilla things) instead.

All in all it's been another amazing week out here in Kajjansi. I am so grateful for everybody's prayers and support. You are all spectacular. I hope you all have a wonderful week!

Elder Winn visited a family who sent me these pictures over Facebook.  It was such an unexpected, wonderful surprise.  I love how happy he looks playing with the little children.  I cherish these pictures and am so thankful for the thoughtfulness of the family that shared them with me.  The  darling children just melt my heart too.
