Hey Guys!
Freaking amazing here! I'm loving it. We got
in to juba on the 27th and then took a land rover to Yei. It was
supposed to be a 10 hour ride but it only took like 5. it was crazy! The
road was so bumpy it was so fun haha. I'm loving it here though. We are
staying on the YWAM base in Yei. We get our schedule on monday for what
ministry is going to look like, so for now we're just building
relationships with the people right around the compound and on base.
Right
now we're in town at an internet cafe. The town is crazy! People
everywhere. Although it feels different because it's not my home in
america, it definitely feels like home here already. It has been so
much fun to be able to connect with some of the kids while on the
compound. They taught us a game that is kind of like hockey combined
with volleyball (ish). You hit a puck back and forth with sticks adn try
to get it to go high in the air. It is so much harder than it looks but
is seriously so much fun! I am also learning how horrible I am at
football (soccer) because I get worked by kids who are like 10 years
old. haha.
We're going to be doing some water
projects while on base here. We're hoping to build some filtration units
as well as a rain catchment tank for the base! It's going to be awesome
to be able to teach them that!
Tomorrow we're
probably going to be at church all day and preaching. Crazy. Out of my
comfort zone right away haha. I'm so excited though.
Whenever
i'd tell people i'm going
to south sudan I'd get a crazy look like "wow, you're insane." haha. It
is really nothing like i imagined thusfar. It is so laid back and
relaxed. I honestly feel really safe here. Although I must admit it is
weird to see people walking around with AK's haha :)
I'm
praying for all of you guys! Miss you a lot. I will continue to try to
update whenever I can. We have to pay to get into town and then pay to
get on the internet so i don't know how often i'll be able to but i'll
try!
Love you all!
Josh
