I have not been feeling very well again...but this time it's a sore throat, headache, head cold type thing. So around 7:20 this morning, I was dreaming about my mommy taking care of me because I was sick. Then I woke up to Jake screaming "YOU LAZY BUTTS, WHAT ARE YOU DOING STILL IN BED? GET ON DOWN THERE, YOU HAVE 10 MINUTES" And I wanted to cry. Haha....but really.
Last week, I just went to IOL training and prepared for teacher training. It wasn't SUPER exciting, but it was fun and very interesting. I absolutely love Lilian Odiero with my whole heart. She is incredible. Oh and okay this is freaking awesome. On...Wednesday I think, at training, I had to go to the bathroom in the middle of one of the lessons, so I snuck out. As I'm coming out of the bathroom (this is at the church building in Mukono), An elder (missionary) is coming out of the boys. I say, "hey elder," then keep walking. But my eye catches his nametag and it says...."ELDER ISRAELSEN: THE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST OF LATTER-DAY SAINTS"...There are not that many freakin israelsens around...well anywhere and IN THE MIDDLE OF EAST AFRICA! Wow. So I am like, "Uh...Elder Israelsen?" And he's like "Yeah???" And I point to my name tag and it says, "Dani Israelsen." He's like..."uh..." So it turns out he is my second cousin who dated my RS President from last year and (his) freshman year roomed with a bunch of my guy friends from high school in Heritage Halls. WEIRD. Oh and he goes home in 2 weeks. Paul, If you see this, welcome home haha. So randomly awesome!
4 new people came last week, Mandy & Taylor (married couple)and Catherine and Melissa. Awesome people! They're way fun! And some leave tomorrow....so we're just inm and out like crazy.
Saturday we went to Jinja to go swimming and that was sooooooooo wonderful. I just got to chill for a while. It was way nice. Then we went shopping and stuff. Awesome. I have way too many freaking souveniers so all you better be grateful when I get home :)
We also went on Friday night to Luta's comedy act in which he pulled Becca and I onto stage to dance in front of a whole bunch of Lugazians. Weird things always happen to me and becca. But it was super fun.
Then Sunday I sang in church, I know that my Redeemer Lives. I wish my sisters were there to sing with me :( But I LOVE the Mukono branch. Way cooler than the Jinja branch. My new favorite people are Christopher Mugimu, Daniel, Frank, Julius, and a guy named Ivan. A different Ivan. They rock.
Okay well I am done today.
PEACE HOMIES
