On campus again

We’ve returned from our home stays in a rural part of Uganda. Kapchorwa was the name of the town that our IMME group stayed in. I’m writing a small bit about the 10 days we spent there, and I shall post that very soon.
Half way through the week, my old roommate David went back to America for the semester, while I will remain at the home I’ve been staying at in Mukono.
I realize I’ve not been good at integrating into my community, and that I need to be intentional about serving around my home. At the same time, so much grace has been given to me- even in the way our heavenly Father is leading me into meeting people on campus.
Just last night I got to watch a soccer game here at our University for the first time. As I sat watching, a brother came and introduced himself, and sat next to me. His name is Michael Ommara (his second name awesomely means, "I am loved"). It was so neat to sit at this soccer game with Michael learning some cool stuff about bird hunting methods he uses, and to learn more about the intricate cooking methods required for things such as sweet potato paste, and white ant balls.
This last thing with the ants is especially cool- the white ants will come out of the ground a couple times throughout the year, and when they do, they are captured using small grass tents over the ant mounts, and also by setting flame in pits so as to attract the ants to a place from which they can't get out. Yesterday was a day for the ants to come out, and there were a lot of them around our campus.
