July 28, 2012      Ok, so this will probably be my second to last blog because I'll be writing about my goodbyes later this week.  Again, I'm sorry it's been a little while since I've blogged.  Everything here is coming to an end, and it's kind of hard to fully understand that right now.  I feel like I don't completely remember home, but I also feel like I just got here.  The children from school went on their holiday break on Thursday, so we got to be a part of their closing meeting with all the children, the few guardians that showed up, and the school staff.  Following the meeting, we had a very good meeting with the staff and Basco- the administrator of the school.  Amanda and I gave some more insight into different ways the teachers could continue to develop their school and teaching methods.  The teachers were so gracious and are just wonderful women that we were so blessed to have the opportunity to work with.      I wanna take this opportunity to sing Basco and Nancy's praises again because they invited us over to dinner last week for an absolutely AMAZING meal!  Now in case I haven't mentioned this before, the food here is somewhat lacking in versatility.  There aren't nearly the amount of options in food as there are at home, so anytime we get a chance for something new we get so excited!  Nancy cooked all day and everything was homemade- EVERYTHING!  Prepare yourselves because I'm sure you'll be drooling after I tell you what we had.  She made- homemade hamburger buns, homemade tortilla chips, salsa, guacamole, passion fruit juice, sloppy joes, pineapple and banana salad, and a strawberry cake to finish it all off!  The hamburger buns were absolutely AMAZING! Needless to say, we stuffed our faces until we couldn't eat anymore.  The rest of our time here is pretty open, we will probably just be spending time with friends and trying not to think about saying bye :/- I'm not prepared for that yet.  Tuesday is Sarah's 22nd birthday, so I think we're gonna have a sleepover at our friend Christine's again on Monday.  As far as I know, we plan on heading to Kampala on Thursday and staying the night so we don't have to drive up Friday and be in a car for 4 hours then get on a plane for a day.  This is all I have for now, but definitely continue to pray for the ministry and sick people here-there are several sick people here rig now (typhoid and malaria are everywhere!).  Also start praying for our flights because I'm not looking forward to them! Love you all!
