off to rwanda!

It's been such a busy, but wonderful week of normalcy. Of course, normalcy is relative, but we're finally doing what we came here to do. Videos will be coming soon. Very soon. We are editing FIENDS.

And guess where we are going tomorrow.

RWANDA!! To visit Jamie and Philip. Everyone keeps telling us that Rwanda is "very clean," and "oh it is so organ-ized," and "oh, it is so cold," and "oh it is very difficult to get around because everyone speaks French not English." So, that sounds exciting! I love French and Jamie and Philip and organization and cool weather. And roadtrips across Africa.

To recap the past few days, here are some nuggets from life around Jinja-town.

Last Sunday, we went to church deep (deeeeeeeeeep) in the village, and when we got out of the car a Ugandan man said to his friend, I want a wife that is blonde like that, to which the pastor responded, Then you should become saved, and you will have. Oh, is that how it works?

Today's topic of conversation at lunch: Kyle XY. Remember Kyle XY? The Ugandan staff loves it, as do we. At the core of our humanity, we are really all the same.

The power went off last night while we were sleeping, which means our fan went off while we were sleeping. The only word that comes to mind about my sleeping experience last night--inferno.

Also today, Meagan's finger got slammed in our van door, and we thought it might have been broken for a second. These details are thrilling, I know.

We have declared a movie marathon of the Nicholas Sparks canon in our house. It was inspired by a viewing of The Last Song. I'm telling you, life in Africa.... we treasure the little things.

We started making crepes at our house, and I'm a changed woman. Again, the little things.

Can't wait to update you on our intercontinental travels... see you in five days!
