Letter from Uganda

I finally got an email from Nathan this morning. And if anyone's curious here is what he's been up to the last few days.

I have so much to tell you about. This trip has already been well worth it. I got pretty sick yesterday. I think that it was just heat exhaustion, nothing more.We went to Owino market yesterday. It is one of the largest markets in all of East Africa. It was so crazy. i will show you pictures when we get home and stuff. I have taken around 200 pictures so far. This place is so green and it has crazy red dirt. It is really pretty. I went running yesterday morning. My lungs hurt really bad because of all the smoke that is in the air here. The people (like many place in the developing world) burn charcoal to heat and cook everything. We also went to a school yesterday. We just got back from church about an hour ago. It was really cool to hear the people bear their testimonies. It was pretty much the same as our ward, as far as what they were saying and stuff. They had a baptism right after sacrament meeting today. Our group seems to be getting along really well. It is fun. A kid at church today looked at me and said "You are really white!" It was really funny.







I'm glad he's having fun but we both sure miss him!!
