From my journal: This morning was so sad! We had to leave.
We got up at 6 and got ready to leave. It was so sad having to leave them. I
got really close to Phoebe and Mama Sarah over the last couple days and I
almost cried when I left. It was sad leaving Jinja. Bro Kim says we are gonna
stay there on Sunday night again. Which is awesome. Cuz then we get to see our
amazing people again. We got to the church at like 7:30. The boys all got
Uganda Cranes jerseys. I want one. I am gonna get Sam to buy me one maybe
because he can get better prices cuz he’s African. We pretty much just sat
around for 2 hours and then at 9:30 we finally hit the road. We drove till
Kampala and then stopped at a mall to use the washroom. When we were almost at
the mall, we got stuck in a traffic jam. The peddlers here sell the weirdest
things! Like one guy had a tape measure, a dartboard and some other random
stuff like that. At the mall, Joe and Elie bought knives. Pretty cool ones at
that! When we were at the mall, it started raining. There are no storm sewers
here though so all the water just collects in the road so we were driving
through big red puddles. Everyone fell asleep after we left Kampala until we
ran into a giant hailstorm. It was like golfball sized hailstones!!! Really cool!!!
We stopped at the equator to take pictures. It was pretty neat. You know how
they say that water flows the other way on the other side of the equator? Ya it
is true. On the northern side of the equator, it flows clockwise, on the
southern side it flows counterclockwise, and right on the equator it doesn’t
turn at all. It was really neat!!! It was a long drive. We quickly stopped at
our hotel when we got into Mbarara and then went to give the money to the
widow. Then we went back to our hotel, had dinner, and then went for a walk.
Sharon and I sat in the restaurant until like 11. That would be because of the
wifi there…. Lol.
