Okay so I decided there are rules for those of you who visit my blog. Well, there is just one rule that I will call the RED DIRT RULE (because the dirt is red in Uganda).
THE RED DIRT RULE: If you read my blog OR even just look at the pictures you MUST leave me a comment. This way I know who is looking and so I feel the love. Thanks.
The family room in our house (Martin in the background turning on the light for me).
This essentially is my bathroom. The yellow jerry can hold the water that I then pour into the blue basin for my bath. When I am finished I dump all the water down the small drain. This is also where I brush my teeth.
This is my bedroom that I share with my sisters, Joannah and Sarah. My bed is the one on the bottom right guarded with the mosquito net. I have made my bed every morning so far! Be impressed!
This is my little area that I have all to myself. I am basically living out of my suitcase with the exception of my skirts which are hung up on a bar that is not pictured.
Me and Martin. He is my new best friend here in Uganda. He LOVES my camera and does a little dance every time the flash goes off.
Jill and I are still friends. :) Some people think we are sisters because we are both from Ohio and go to Bluffton together.
Sunset view from our dinning hall on campus. LOVE IT.
I am commenting on behalf of Sara and I since she can't do it from school. Sounds like you're having a good time (just hopefully no more b.e.'s :) We're praying for you every day
ReplyDeleteHi. It's Drea. I like you and your blog. And I miss seeing your face in the office. I see Cody's face, but it is not as nice as yours. Please don't get any more tan. Thanks.

ReplyDeleteThanks for posting the pictures. It's great to get a sense of what you are experiencing. As usual, it seems as if this is an awesome experience. I'm praying for you everyday. Also, I think Martin and I would be good friends, because I like you and your white skin too!

I am checking up on ya girl! ;)Martin DOES look like a cool cat!!!
ReplyDeleteHanna - entirely random since it's been almost a year since I've seen you (not to mention the fact that we barely know each other), but through all the stories that Alicia tells me, I feel like I know everything that's going on with you and the rest of your family...wow, creepy, this may be my last post :) Anyway, just wanted to send you a quick note to let you know that there were others out there praying for you (and because I was a little scared by your Red Dirt threat :). Best of luck, Debbie Szalejko

ReplyDeleteAshley Phipps
I looked at your family portraits. Looks like you are in good hands! Love and miss you and think of you often!
ReplyDeleteHey Hanna! I saw your mom, dad, and Sara tonight at the homecoming parade and we got to talking about you and how you were doing. So I thought I would check out your blog. It's really nice to see the pictures. Looks like you are in a nice house, with a nice family! Something that Sara mentioned that I also noticed was that you were the only one with a mosquito net. Do they just not bother the others? Anyways, good to see ya....you're in my prayers. Laurie Dutton
