Hello beloved friends and family...
I have been in Uganda for 9 days now... and It has been a full and eventful week! I am actually writing at the internet cafe right now, so this will be a short update, but I will try to write more frequently throughout the week so I can upload them on the weekends. Today my heart misses home, as in Portland home, for it DOWNPOURED all day... I think God was thinking of me and my love for the rain ;) We almost didn't make it to church because the minibus (which was taking all 39 of us) was stuck in the puddles...more like gaping holes ;) But at last we did, we got to church in time for the sermon, which was so good for me to hear.
This next week please be praying for me as I now will be fulfilling Deidrah's administrator position while her administrator is on leave for two weeks... this means I am in charge of all the shopping, accounting, attending mtgs for "day of african child" this weekend, and plenty more of office type stuff :) I am enjoying Jinja and the Ugandan's here so much. I will miss Diana, who is the administrator I am covering for, while she is gone. She has been a very good friend to me and helped me to learn all I need to know to make my way around town.
Last night I was able to attend a Ugandan wedding in Kampala, the capital. It was incredible... I'm told it was a "well to do" wedding, it was definetly a party!
I have now been able to learn all of the children's names and have also been having fun teaching them games and reading books. Thanks to Melinda who has given me games out my ears that take nothing but kids and smiles :) I also subsitute taught "top class" this week, which was the kindergarteners... that was an interesting expereience :) Please pray as I will teach the sunday school the next two sundays from now... I think we are going to talk about Daniel, but I'm still praying about it.
Happy Birthday to Aunt Charity and soon to my Mommma - I miss you family.
To my Malawian family, I miss you so much... Being in Africa makes me think about you all the time. And here in Uganda, I'm now a "muzungu" not an "azunugu" but hey, its all the same. And the samosas- they're still wonderful! :) Oh and for Vic... "oonnne, two...oonnne, two"
Okay, all for now.. but please leave me msgs and tell me how you all are!
To my Fairvilla family... I MISS YOU! I'm loving your letters...and chocolate :) Emily, I find myself praying for you in the middle of the night often... and Saas... keep it up with CS Lewis ;) xoxoxoox
love you all,
meg

Hi Meg! I was thinking about you, and then Linds told me about your luggage... wow, talk about a test of patience. :) We are missing you, and hoping you are well.
Love, The Sypher Girls
My dearest Meg! So good to here about all that's happening in Uganda! Sounds like things are going well and you are fitting right in. I finished good 'ol Lewis and am back in Portland as of yesterday. So good to be back, it's gorgeous and it's nice to be able to relax a bit. I love you a ton! You will be in my prayers.

Meg, I miss you but I hope you are well and enjoying your time there. My little world traveler! Emma went to doggie daycare today. Had a great time. Papa in Canada playing bridge. See you soon. Love, Grandma
Meeeg!
I miss you! I never got to send you a Uganda letter, but know that I am praying for you and love you lots. I'm excited to hear more of the amazing things the Lord does in the next few weeks. Isn't it awesome that we can always ask Him for more because He has an endless supply of all that we need? I'm praying that He will fill you ABUNDANTLY with all that you need.
