Quick Updates before the weekend!

1.  A few weekends ago IMME went to Lira, which is a district up North affected by the war, including one of the IDP camps.  What surprised me the most was now that everyone has been moved back to their homes and the IDP camps are completely are gone is that the war is basically unmentioned now.  There are still visible and deep rooted consequences of the war, like many orphans, etc.  However, we saw 3 awesome ministries that were completely different and talked with peace corps volunteers.  It was awesome and I would love to talk about it more i just havnt had time to blog all my thoughts. 


2.  I LOVE my family.  Especially Alex, we are now in the process of recording our own version of Chasing Cars, by Snow Patrol.  Maybe I'll share it with you all since being here has made me used to not being embarrassed.  


3.  We have started playing volleyball on sundays with our ugandan siblings and its been super fun.  


4.  Today is election day!  It will be really interesting to see how things play out.  This is looking like it will be the first free and fair election Uganda has ever had... but then again, who knows.  Lots of people arnt voting and are fine with Museveni, but in my personal opinion, I think they need a change of leadership or Egypt is going to happen in another 5 years.




I have lots more to say but if you want to know more about these just comment and ask questions! Also, what are people interested in hearing about... let me know so i dont bore you!
