NEWSLETTER: January 2017

Somehow I've been in America nearly 6 weeks!




Where to begin???

It seems as so much has happened in the seemingly short time that I have been in America. However, when I reflect on my schedule, it seems quite the opposite!!!

I have visited people in Tennessee, Missouri, Iowa, Georgia, Alabama, and now I am in Colorado with time in Texas and California quickly approaching! I am so THANKFUL for the times I have had with some of you but still HOPING for many more memory making moments with many of you!!

Please do not hesitate to contact me so we can figure out a time to get together!! I would love to answer questions about my time in Africa, tell you stories, AND catch up on what is happening in YOUR life!

MUCH GRATEFULNESS:
-safe travels thus far. over 2,000 miles (3,218 km) on the road and a few flights.
-provision of a vehicle for my time in America!!!
-time to connect with friends
-flexibility you have in your schedules so we can get together
-hospitality all over. (one time within 7 nights, I had slept in 5 different beds)
-getting to see the beauty of the mountains in Colorado.

PRAYER REQUESTS:
-continuation of safe travels. lots of road miles to go and still some domestic flights
-ease of communication and clarification on what to share with different audiences. I really want to find words to describe things so you can get a glimpse of my world.
-time for myself to relax, work on to-do lists, and prepare for presentations and ideally organize photos because each one seems to tell its own story
-to let go of "work tasks". My mind still wanders to the office in Kampala and wonders about things that I would be doing if I was still there.
-grace between us. As we cross our lives again and reconnect. I've found after a two year technology relationship, things can be different live and in person.



The last six weeks have really gone by so fast!!! I shudder to think about the remaining time in America as if I will blink and it might be over. For me it is divided so much as I have delegated out my schedule. Please be understanding that I'm trying to do so much and see so many in just four months. I'm blessed to have so many people in my life and hopeful that we can get together!

Many blessings to you and your family as you navigate through the week!
