Since I've gotten several requests for some pictures of my new home, I thought I'd upload a few for your perusal. When I've finished settling into my little apartment, I'll show you those. I'm sure my Minnesota friends won't be pleased to hear how nice the weather here has been: 70's & sunny! Perhaps, though, you can practice visualization techniques and picture yourselves by my side. I would like that :)

Looking down from the school to the Town of Mukono below.

The Guest house where I partake of some really good dinner meals until I get settled into my apartment.

One of the oldest, most notable buildings on campus. It also houses UCU's president's office.

The other end of the most notable building (as seen above). You'll often see students sitting in chairs under the mango trees.

Though there are several mango trees on campus, when people say "Meet me under the mango tree" this is the tree they mean (so I am told).

The Health and Science building which houses the nursing skills lab, and I believe some nursing offices as well.

This is the new building that the nursing student lab was just moved into. They are in the top corner level of the  Health & Science building (shown above).

 Things I am grateful for:
*Being able to stay with Karen and have her as a guide while I learn to maneuver in such a new environment.
*Getting my carry-on bag back with everything intact
*Having such a welcoming community at UCU

Things to pray for:
*That God would continue to aid my transition and help me grow relationships
*Protection from any unpleasant stomach bugs I may encounter (so far so good though)

With faith, hope, & love
