Went to African Village this morning to do souvenir
shopping. I am realizing that this
culture is all about relationships and listening to the stories of others. It is NOT ok to just walk in, ask the price,
and walk away. Maybe means yes in this
culture. Oh do I have so much to
learn! After some time getting
souvenirs, we went to Java’s before heading to meet Edward and Caitlyn Olara
for lunch at their house. Had quite the
Mexican spread of food finished off with apple pie! J The Olara’s were introduced to me by Bob and
Donna Miles... a couple at MBC that visits from Oregon for a couple of months
every year. Caitlyn grew up in Oregon…
came to Uganda on a couple of mission trips… married Edward and are now living
here full time.
After spending some time asking questions and getting to
know them we went back to Java’s to meet with the doctor from Kissito. Got some things taken care of for the clinic
and headed back to the hotel to rest and talk story.
