THIS IS MY LAST DAY!! At UCU anyways. But seriously, I don’t know what to do with myself it’s so weird. I still have a paper to write and have to be done packing by five so this will be a quick post.
Last week we said bye to our Off Tu kids, and it has definitely been the hardest goodbye yet. I really really miss them already, and can only hope that someday I will meet them again. We had a campfire, danced, sang, and played games. It was beautiful!
I also got sick last week. Fever, soar throat, and stomach everything (it finally happened, dang it!) After feeling awful for 3 days, I went to the Surgery (the doctor’s office) and got some meds and am feeling so much better!!
The rest of my week was spent finishing up my papers and working on getting my plane ticket figured out. I am no longer hiking Mount Elgon at the end of the semester, so I will be home a few days early! I’m so excited to be home, but can’t even imagine how much I will miss this place.
Tomorrow we leave UCU for Rwanda to study the genocide by going to different memorials, mass graves, museums, and by talking to various people about it. For those of you who don’t know much about the genocide, watch Hotel Rwanda. It’s about a 100-day genocide that happened between tribes in Rwanda in which 600,000 people were killed. I am really looking forward to learning about it, but I think it will also be a really difficult week emotionally. We will be there during their two-week mourning period, so it will be an incredibly unique experience. While there, we won’t have phones or internet, so there is a chance I won’t be writing again until home, but I will try if I get the chance!
Sorry my post is so short! I just don’t want to be attached to my computer on my last day at UCU! Thanks again for all you love and prayers! I can’t wait to see you all!
