One of the processes the Lord is teaching me right now is patience and flexibility. In Africa, everything takes its own time and happens in its own way. This is what I've heard and seen a small amount of. I arrived in Entebbe on Friday morning and so far, life has not been much different for me. I am now settled into my room with my pictures on the wall and I'm getting used to living with a family. Sunday church was wonderful. I ran into many friends I met last summer and it was very encouraging that some of them remembered me. They call me "nurse kelly", not much different from Ika in the States calling me "Dr. kelly", but I prefer nurse-less responsibility! I also have been making a few connections for work here while I am trying to get to Kapchorwa. As I said, everything in Africa takes its own time. So while here in Entebbe, I am trying to get some projects under my belt. I spoke with Pastor Sharon at church and she was enthusiastic about me jumping on board to help teach the children's ministry. I have also learned that Osanidde Orphanage is thinking I will be able to fill a vacancy for medical personnel. I'm in the works of making connections up north for my work against FGM, but in the mean time, I plan to stay busy as well. Overall, these first few days in Africa have been wonderful, restful and filled with an even more intimate level of Love from my Prince than I ever imagined. It has been encouraging connecting with so many of you back in the States via facebook and email, so please continue!! It has been so much fun being introduced into the Earwicker family. Various events have included a MacGyver night, building a fort out of mattresses, backflips and trust falls on mattresses and playing with two such adorable little ones! The Lord continues to urge me to be patient and flexible to His timing and plan for my life. Thank you for encouraging me and praying for me as I work to show the Love of the King to Africa.
