Luggage Tags!

So I found at Target these self-laminating luggage tags, which I thought would be fun! : ) I don't remember where my luggage tags are, but it was $4 dollars for 4 tags, which seemed very reasonable and thus I proceeded to make some luggage tags with my Uganda address on them : )

Packing Test 1

So i decided to do a trial run of how much stuff I will be bring to Uganda : ) This is test number 1! It's hard for me to judge everything since I'm still in Virginia and some of my stuff is still at home in the MN, but here is my trial run! I think I will be able to fit everything in my suitcase plus my carry-on, it doesn't seem to be too much. Things to still consider are ah,hem clothing options (yes there is more than 7 days worth of clothing here, but to image wearing one week's worth of clothing for 17 weeks is kinda hard to think of! so i'm sure i'll bring probably two weeks worth : ), all the rendering tools (color pencils, watercolors...trying to decide if these will be useful or not), and i still haven't shown household items i will be bringing including any food and coffee (french press is a need), etc. But so far looking good!

Welcome!

Hello All!

Welcome to my blog I will be keeping while I am in Uganda. Now for most of the summer I will not be updating this quite that frequently, but I have it available now for my supporters, friends and families. A quick summary of my going ons to be, I will be living in Kampala, Uganda from mid-August through December. I am going to be an intern for Engineering Ministries International (EMI), which is a non-profit organization that pairs designers and engineers with mission organizations in the developing world to offer hope to those in need, showing Christ’s love through some of the most practical ways. I will be working at their field office in Kampala, Uganda help assisting in the designing and development of the current projects. I will be regularly (hopefully) updating this throughout my time in Uganda to keep you all informed of what God is teaching me through this wonderful opportunity. So please feel free to check back as often as possible! I am so excited to be able to share this with all of you!
