A couple of days in Africa

So i've been in Uganda a couple of days now, DTS has officially started but we have just been spending the time getting to know each other and learning about YWAM values! there are 11 girls in our room but we still have a couple to arive, our DTS is 17 people so far with about half Ugandan and half western. our DTS staff are all ugandan and so lovely. so far we've done lots of singing and hugging! last night we also played musical chairs, musical statues and duck duck goose, it was rather entertaining!
So far my learning of Lugandan consists of Weblle (thank you) and that is all.
I've finally stopped feeling ill from my malaria tablets which is a big blessing because it ws horrible!
We took our first trip into Jinja yesterday with the whole group so Msaki (our DTS leaer) organised it but when we have to get there and back alone it will be interesting! yesterday we had 20 people in a 14 person minibus it was certainly a squash! but it was good to get some biscuits and a phone and some other bits however getting used to ugandan shops and markets wil be an experience! we also need to learn how to get cheap prices because we a Munzungu's they will try and charge us more
This afternoon i went into my room to find a cat sitting on my bag! it was cute but slightly scary!
i had so much else to say but right now i cant remeber.
for all of you that wish to pray for us i would just ask that you pray for unity in our group, protection from sickness and peace from being away from home!
sorry this post is all over the place but hey i'm sure you can make sense of it!
