Apologies

I'm sorry that it has been so long since I had a chance to post. For those of you that aren't aware, the last few days of my trip have been spent in Northern Uganda, really doing some work on the ground and having a chance to meet the people directly affected by the ongoing war within the country. It's been truly a life changing experience to meet these people face to face;, to hear their stories and to see their scars. But more than that even, it has been amazing to hear them laugh and to see some flicker of hope in their eyes. It has brought me a deeper understanding of the humanness of all people. That "we" are in fact no different than "them."

I hope this rambling makes sense.

Now, unfortunately I don't have time for more rambling at this point but I hope to post a novel of my ramblings at some point. Just kidding, but seriously. My mind has been working overtime lately and it has been a frustrating, an encouraging and a humbling experience all at once.

My time here in Kampala is coming to a close. We have only one more day here in town before leaving Sunday morning for Rwanda. It's been fun to be in Uganda, but I'm actually very ready to leave. Get away from the polution and noise and craziness and trade it for Kigali, Rwanda, which by all accounts is much clearner and calmer. Oh, and cooler which is always nice.

Thank you all for the continued prayers and toughts and emails. I will try to post again soon, but as always I'm not sure exactly what the availability will be.

Peace,
Matt
