Lots of Uganda friend-love!

Over the past three weeks I've had the privilege of visiting with 3 friends that I was close to while living in Uganda. The first was a weekend trip I took to Lubbock, Texas to visit with Jacob and Georgia. For my first seven months in Kaabong, they were living and working as missionaries with the Baptist mission. Their love and support, as well as being fellow-americans, was priceless for me through some of my toughest moments over there. I was so encouraged by this opportunity to see them again. We spent the short time I had with them reminiscing, processing a bit of the journey we've been on since being back in the states, and making new memories. Georgia & I have been training together from afar for a 10k run this June, so we made sure to get a run in as well. What a blessing it was to see their faces in person once again!




Georgia & I hit up World Market for Tim Tams & left with a few chocolate bunnies as well...

My second visit was with Trace, my co-worker and good friend from my Medair team in Kaabong. She came all the way from Bristol, UK to spend a week in Denver, just to hang out with me. It was so good to be with another friend who knows me from Uganda, someone who was there as well through the toughest of times for me. We had such a blast exploring Denver, the mountains, and just laughing and talking a lot!
