THEY'RE HERE!!!!!!!!

My best friend from Canada came to visit with his dad.  His
cousin and her dad also came here too.  My mom and dad came with me to pick them up.  I wasn't tired when we went to the airport at 10:00 at night. I couldn't wait to show them everything at New Hope Uganda.  When we finally got back I couldn't believe they were here.

Kobwin

On Thursday we went to the other New Hope site with aunt Constance a lady that works here.  It was are first time being there so there was lots to explore.  Before we got there, there was a long 9 hour car trip. The Kobwin Children Centre is in east Uganda.  On the way we bought gonja a roasted kind of banana and chicken on a stick for lunch.  When we finally got there after we unloaded we went to Uncle Charles' house for dinner.  Uncle Charles is the manger for Kobwin.  While we were there I played with boys from the Family group there.  We mostly climbed rocks.  The rocks at Kobwin are huge. 

While we were at Kobwin one day we went to Sipi Falls.  It was 3 hours away but it was amazing. There are three waterfalls and we viewed them in different spots.  On the way back we stopped in Jinja to have lunch at The Keep. They had very good food.  When we got back finally I was ready to sleep.
                                                                                    

Hockey Night In Kiwoko

On Thursday night we went to watch the woman's ice hockey gold medal game in the Olympics in Kiwoko (the local town near us) on a satellite TV.  Our neighbours at New Hope went with us.  The lady had played at Boston Collage and coached some of the players on the U.S. side.  It was a amazing game! With 4 minutes left in the game the U.S. were winning 2-0 but we scored 2 goals and won the gold medal in overtime.  It was a bit  different though because we were sitting on plastic chairs on a dirt floor.  It was a great experience.

Going swimming!

A few days ago we went swimming in Jinja for one of my friend's birthday.  It was a long 3 hour drive to the swimming pool but it was very fun.  I had not been swimming for half a year so I had somehow forgotten.  After we waded for a while we had lunch.  That was very yummy.  After lunch we went down to see Lake Victoria (the city of Jinja is on it).  That was also very cool.  Then we went back to the swimming pool  and played with a Frisbee.  It was very very fun.

Party!

  One of my missionary friends in Uganda in invited me to a pacific island party.  He had to do it for school.  It was very fun!  We had a hula dancing contest!  I won third out of seven people!  For dinner we had Chicken with pineapple on rice.  It was delicious!  For dessert  We had pineapple upside-down cake.  That was delicious to.  We had a very fun time!      

Visitors

When are Visitors left we ran up the hill to wave goodbye.  On the walk back I was thinking about who would come next.  So far we don't know of anyone coming.  I like having visitors because it is something to look forward to.  I hope one of you will come to visit next.

Dan

The house we are living in now is right beside a family group called Jonathan Family.  In that family group there is a boy called Dan.  He is about my age so we play together a lot.  We usually play kick the can but sometimes we ride bikes.  We get along well and have fun!
