Visit with the Scholars

Yesterday I saw met all of the scholars, OMG they are soooooo amazing, and
adorable. First we went to Bishop Dgungu, and saw Jessica, Nassiwa
Immaculate, Nabumma Immaculate, Jude, Jeffery, and Flavia. They were so
cute. At first they were very shy but then they soon warmed up to us. At
one point little Jessica went behind me and just started playing with my
hair, so did Immaculate, because no one around here really has hair like
mine so they just want to touch it. Then we went to Sidney Paul and saw all
of the other scholars. I was so excited to see Susan and the I got to see
Wilbur!!! I was soooo happy, I loved it!!(Wilbur is the boy I sponsor to go
to school) I had never met him before, but I sent him a picture of me in his
Christmas card so he knew what I look like. At first he looked sad, and
then he saw me and ran up and sat next to me. After a little bit he reached
over and held my hand. Susan got to come back to the clinic with us and
spend the night. She and I got to spend some nice time together. Today we
went visiting the Tekera Resource center and we shopped in their craft shop.
It was fun and I got a couple things. The place is amazing. Tomorrow I am
going back to the local school to help Sarah and Eliot teach. I think my
favorite part about the village so far is how all of the kids get so excited
no matter where we go in Uganda and they run after us yelling Mzungu! (white
person) It seems that just by waving at them they get so happy. It is so
much fun and I really enjoy the kids.
