Well, we're definitely a novelty here! There are 40,000 Ugandans in Busia town and 8 muzungu - their word for white person. Everywhere we go little kids yell "how are you? I'm fine". Its the only English they know! And we hear everyone say "muzungu" as we pass. We've only seen two other Americans since we got here.
There was a mix up at the last minute so we were unable to get the internet up and running today. A bit disappointing because tomorrow is a public holiday so we have to wait until Wednesday. Scott got a slight rash today so we visited the clinic to have in checked out. The doctor took us right away and with two types of medicines dispensed and only $10 for everything! Probably related to his mattress so we moved rooms in the hotel and now we have a hot water shower! Turns out they were holding out on us for the new rooms! But we're settled again and all is well. Please pray that Scott continues to heal quickly.
We're all having fun learning some of the Ugandan language and how to ride a boda boda - a bicycle taxi we can ride wherever we need to go. But you have to balance on a tiny seat on the back and girls sit side-saddle! A good deal for only 9 cents one way. And Megan is getting really good at being sure they don't overcharge us! I will upload pictures when we can.
Praise God for all He is doing in our lives!
