My Year in Review (2)

Uganda through the summer...

Man, what should I say about Uganda. I just completed my cross cultural task here at Covenant, so I spent alot of time thinking and writing about that trip. I don't really want to write down everything I did there either. In general terms, it was a really good trip, though it was difficult. It certainly was a high point of the year, and it has changed me for the better I think. The spiritual fruits in my life are subtle I think, and perhaps slowly developing, but I think (and hope) they are present.

I spent alot of time evangelizing there, and that was good. I wanted it, and needed it. I don't think it is my spiritual gift, but I know I can do it. I really wish I did it here in America, and that can be changed.

I met alot of cool people, Americans and Ugandans, and I still keep in contact with people from both countries.

We got back, and I was sick for a week. Spent the next few weeks doing I don't know what. Readjusting, getting healthy, being a little depressed, confused, and in a surreal daze. 4th of July was good. Spent alot of time at Shawn Vicker's place, which is always nice.

Somewhere around here I realized I wanted to go back to Covenant. The fire academy fell through due to late paperwork on my part, but I am kinda glad. Covenant has been really good this year, and I am getting alot of firefighting preparation here too.

Then I got work with the window washing company again. Overall it was good, though I didn't like traveling all the time. Yet, it made work exciting. It really was kinda fun working all over the U of A campus. I remember spending the hot, muggy evenings running. Such memories.

Then the great backpacking trip with Charlie and Dr. Stevens at Mount Rainier. Such a good trip. Seattle was great too. I really would like to live up there after college. Such a beautifal and exciting place. I'll have to see what God has in store though.

Then Covenant...
