Only 8 Days Left

I want to thank all of the Jinja Juggers that have already donated so much to the dental clinic.  We have raised over $5,500.00 since July.  
I also want to thank everyone that has given me encouragement and things that they’ve made or bought for me to take to Jinja.  I have been so blessed by your generosity and support. It means the world to me.  
I have been told by people that have been to Uganda that this will be a life changing experience for me and that when I get back, I’ll want to sell my house and move back to Jinja.  I have faith that it will be the wonderful trip that God wants it to be.

Now, for the packing!!  My suitcases finally yelled at me loud enough for me to get them out and let them look at all the stuff I want to take. My job is to figure out how to fit dental floss, floss dispensers, knitting needles, crochet hooks, yarn, yarn and more yarn, bubbles, kid stuff, the huge kite, nail polish and remover, filing boxes, hanging folders, label maker, camera, jump ropes, clothes lines and clothes pins, homemade wash rags, a handmade baby blanket, a big patchwork quilt from church, the bibles and all of my personal stuff into the fewest suitcases according to KLM regulations.  No problem…

Then there’s the laptop.  It’s been waiting for over a month to be set up and learned about but I’m afraid of it.  Do you know what that means?  There are 2 reasons.  They are both facts and challenges for me.
#1 – I didn’t grow up using computers.  I grew up in the 60’s and it wasn’t available from kindergarten through High School.  
#2 – People don’t like change.  But we all know that going through trials makes us stronger.  I will overcome both challenges by having a private lesson tomorrow night.  Hopefully, next week’s blog will be sent on my new laptop.  We’ll see…

I’m not even going to tell you about my TO DO LIST for the next week.  It would scare you.

Please, please, please pray for organization, calmness, time management and sleep.
