How to Update.

Im not sure where to take all of this. Im not sure how to update everyone on this trip because simply, I'm just falling in love more and more. With the country. With the people. With Eddie. Yup. All of it. I keep asking myself what this would look like if I were here for good. I see the markets and the boda boda's and the traffic and the sky and and I  just feel good. Plain and simple. I've been here for 6 days and I feel like I just got here, but at the same time, like  its been weeks. I like the feeling of familiarity-  that it is not a new, nerve inducing feeling, but a familiar one.

 This isnt a missions trip. This isnt me doing anything spectacular (I dont even know what that could possibly be), but it's me getting to know this country. I dont want a shiny impression, I want the nitty gritty, I want to know what Kampala really is. I want to know if I could do it. I know that sounds strange. And why Im putting this on the internet, Im not sure. But Im trying to be honest with the whole trip. Thoughts. Feelings. Impressions. All of it. Including this.

The last time I was here, it was hard going back to the US. I had all these feelings and emotions and it was hard to bring people alongside me. Explaining what was going on in not just my head, but my heart was the worst. I was reeling until probably March and then in May I took off for India. The whole year was me being torn and then being built up. It was a mess.

Im certain this trip is different. Its not about being broken this time, its about seeing and knowing. Its about experiencing the contrasts and walking through them. I am so thankful. So thankful.
