Geez'um Pete's!!!

Uganda tomorrow! I can't believe it! I'm not entirely packed yet. Well, when I say that I mean that I have packed, but it is more of a mountain than a suitcase. So, today I have to unpack and then repack again. Good times.
Thank you all for your encouragement and prayers! Keep it coming!
I'm not sure when I will first get to a computer, but as soon as I do I'll be in touch!

Teaching Assignment

So, I found out where I will be teaching in Gulu this summer! Very exciting. I will be teaching English at Keyo Secondary School. It is one of the newer schools in Invisible Children's Schools for Schools program. I can hardly wait. I am going to post a link below to Keyo's link on IC's S4S website. Watch the intro video if it doesn't already pop up. That will be my school and those will be my students!!! Amazing!
Thanks again for all your support and prayers!

Pretty much sums it up...

"Dream God’s Dream"

And the Lord God said,
“I myself will dream
a dream within you
Good dreams come from Me,
you know
My dreams seem impossible
Not too practical
Not for the cautious
man or woman
A little risky sometimes
Some of my friends prefer to rest more
comfortably
In sounder sleep
With visionless eyes
But from those who
share my dreams
I ask a little patience
A little humour
Some small courage
And a listening heart
I will do the rest
Then they will risk
And wonder at their daring
Run and marvel at their speed
Build and stand in awe at the beauty
of their building
You will meet Me
often as you work
In your companions
who share your risk
In your friends,
who believe in you
enough
To lend their own
dreams
Their own hands
Their own hearts
To your building...”
