Josiah's Aerial Adventures

2009-08-27T04:15:00.000-07:00

So, I (Josiah) had the opportunity to hop on a plane at Soroti's flying school. After 3 hours of waiting, I was finally invited to come aboard this 4 seater Cessna. The pictures speak for themselves so I don't need to say much. Enjoy!

I (Sarah) have been spending quite a bit of time at our friends James and Norah's place. Wed just a year and a half ago, James and Norah have 18 children! The only explanation is their huge hearts, opening their home to so many vulnerable children in Soroti area.Right now, the children are on their holidays from school, so they need a bit more "entertainment" during the day.

Market

As we step into the canopy of tarps, “fish smell”, glassy stares and sweaty bodies, we know that we’re in the market. As we walk by each vendor, we hear the usual “sister sister, carrots? green pepper? tomatoes?” Like every other day, every person is selling the same things as the next person. How do you know who to buy from? Who has the best produce, the best price? We’re given a ridiculous

It was George who shared with us that he was stressed. The past week had grown the frustrations that had been planted some months back.

As you may know, Josiah and I love biking. We have bikes here and they are our primary means of transportation. Not only is my bike branded with the word “hero” but it has a special little feature… it has a bell and stickered onto the bell is sign that reads “I love my bike”… kind of the same style as “I Love NY”, heart and all. When Josiah and I first bought these bikes I laughed at the bell,

Sipi Falls: In the Foothills of Mount Elgon

2009-05-05T05:38:00.000-07:00

Sometime back, we got the chance to explore Sipi Falls, just two hours from our home in Soroti. We hiked through the foothills of Mount Elgon to explore 3 different waterfalls. Not only were the waterfalls spectacular and worth the trip, but hiking through the valleys seemed almost magical... as we walked through coffee fields and along ridges boasting the view of banana plantations and various
