Campus life

In one month we will be living on campus at GSF, at least for the next 6 months or so. We will miss a few things about living in town, like being near some friends in Jinja and the convenience of going to the market. But there are many reasons we are looking forward to living on campus. The first is to be connected with our team. We often miss out on evening or weekend gatherings of the missionary team or the whole GSF family because driving in the dark is difficult here. 

Another reason we are looking forward to being on campus is to have more time to spend with the kids who live here. Wednesday afternoons are the time we often do that since we stay late for team devotions. Here is a photo of me today with the toddlers who were "fixing" my hair.

I think I lost quite a bit of hair, but it was a small price to pay for that special time with these kids. The little girl who is standing next to Zeke, Efrance, spent an entire hour "braiding" my hair. Danny, sitting on my lap in the photo, alternated between sitting with me and playing chase with Ezra. 

The last reason we are looking forward to moving is because we will be so happy to not have the daily commute. We will free up about an hour and a half daily, and we will save quite a bit of money in fuel. 

 I'm sure there will be challenges in addition to the many blessings of moving onto campus. For now though, we are excited about our upcoming move. Please keep us in your prayers as we prepare for this next transition
