January....

Yesterday I realized that January is more than half way done and I haven't written a blog post in a very long time....

So, a few of the things we have been doing this past month....

• We had the Frasers here over Christmas so that was filled with lots of fun!
• We had visitors from AIM on Boxing Day (that was in the last month)
• Our next door neighbour had a very cute baby on Dec. 30th and we watched their oldest son Noah while they were at the hospital
• We were in 2013 as well as 2014!!
• We watched the three 4-5 hour movies we got for Christmas! They were great!!!
• The Institute of Childcare and Family (a training program that New Hope has) started across the road so there were a bunch of new people who arrived for that from other parts of Uganda, the USA, and Liberia!
• We had some of the people in the Institute over for dinner
• We have been doing school...
• and mid-term/final exams...
• Envisioning (a New Hope conference) started and is finishing today.
• Christina and I helped out at Hope Family a lot of extra days because of Envisioning and a shortage of staff
• We had more people over for dinner! This includes a variety of people from Uganda, Northern Ireland, USA and Musana Camps (New Hopes camp-yes I know it isn't a country but we don't see them very often!)
• We had an Envisioning meal with the administrative staff and had Indian food (Chicken curry, dal, fruit, g-nuts, rice, naan, and soda
• Christina and I made naan for 60+ people (with a lot of extra help rolling/heating water on a segiri/heating the milk/cooking the naan)
• We also celebrated my dad's birthday by going into Kampala and eating lunch at an Indian Restaurant. The one that we wanted to go to was closed most days but
