This morning we woke up and saw uganda for the first time in daylight. We headed downstairs and enjoyed a breakfast of chapati, potatoes, sausage, and fresh fruit. We headed to lake Victoria where we did our first devotion as a team and talked about the days to come. We piled into the buses and went into town to celebrate Joe's birthday. After eating delicious vanilla ice cream and chocolate cake we started our drive to our second hotel. The bus allowed us to wittiness the beautiful African culture throughout our drive. Once we got to the African Village hotel we got a tour of the grounds. The hotel we are staying at has a two acre farm providing work for the local villagers. Before dinner we did team bonding and played the game fishbowl, which my team won! My friends and I decided to go on a walk and we ran into the boys playing basketball with some of the local Africans. Between talking to the staff and playing with the locals the whole team is already starting to connect with the different culture. At dinner we met Godwin and his family. Godwin is the man that started Nations Changers, the school we will be working at tomorrow. After we had a team meeting and then fell asleep to the beautiful sounds of the rainforest. We are all very excited to serve God and witness Him in new ways through this extraordinary culture and its people.
