Counting Down the Days...

Phew, there are so many things to think about when one is preparing to go, which is the main reason why you haven't heard much from me lately.

Alot of last night and this morning was spent packing. Clothes - check. Toothpaste - check. Pillow - check. Camera - check. Sleeping bag - check. Wait a minute...sleeping bag? I'm taking a sleeping bag to Uganda? No, but I am taking it to camp. ; )

Today marks the first day of one of my favorite weeks in the whole year, in fact I scheduled my furlough to make sure I would be home for it this year. After reading reports and seeing pictures of everyone's great time at church camp last year, and feeling the most homesick of any other time while in Uganda, I KNEW I could not miss another church camp.

A full week of tons of fellowship, fun, teaching, singing, games and food are just some of the highlights of camp. So I am going to scoot, throw my sleeping bag in the car and head off for a memorable week. I'll post some pictures when I get back. : )

Oh, and it is about 10 days until I leave Oregon (Aug. 4) on my journey back to Uganda. And I would so appreciate your continued prayers! Thank you!
