Big catch up....

OK... super big catch up time! Right, in the time between these last 2 posts we have planned all of our trip to Uganda and been to there and back again. Wahoo!! We had the most amazing trip... it was so great. We went to mainly catch up with the Graingers, but also to experiance the magic of an amazing a place as Uganda, East Africa. We (Laura, Dad and I) had the trip of a lifetime. We realsied and learnt so much about how rich and fortunate we all are back here in NZ. I was incredible to see the poverty that some people live in compared to the wealth many of us take for granted here at home. Uganda is a beautiful place it is so green and lush, the people are beautiful, especially the children! To tell you the truth i didn't exactly want to leave, and I kept telling myself we arn't nessisarily leaving... not yet. Even though we all knew that we were, it was hard for me to accept it right until we were crossing the boarder between Uganda and Ethiopia. I finally came to grips then that we were no longer in Uganda any more we really had left. I cryed so much because I knew how much i was going to miss it... and I realy do. In fact I cryed when we got outside the airport, I cryed when we got in the airport, I cryed when we were waiting for our plane, I cryed when we boarded the plane, I cryed when we took off and I cryed when we crossed the boarded between Uganda and Ethiopia. :-) U see I realy did'nt want to leave! It really was a life changing experience that I hope will only be one of my many trips to Uganda. It is amazing to see Gods work (through the Graingers) in a place like this. It was awesome to help in even a small way to reach the altimate goal which is to turn others to the L0rd Jesus Christ. Later I will post some photos of our trip:


LOL. Found this picture andsorta liked it. :-) Kinda Random!

Sorry, everyone.

I'm am sorry everyone. I haven't updated my blog in sooo... long it's sad. So i thought I would update it all now. OK, now this is not the end of my blog but it was the greek class for the year on thusday so, that was a bit sad. I did manage to pass my greek exam ok so that was a bonus though, at church there was a graduation sevice to parise those who had been involved in the shepard's bible college this year. So Claudia (who also studied greek with me) and I decided to make some graduation hats, out of paper and where them around church they said greek on the front so everyone knew what they were for. So there are some pictures of that above, Also we ahd a Victorian dress up day day today, and us 5 year 9 and 10 girls got to have our hair all curled and done-up for that we also got to wear pretty victorian gown's and we had to play victorian criket in them. so that was fun, I fell on the ground a couple of times (tripping over my dress) putting my life on the line for the team :-) I dont have any pictue's of that yet.
Our school break-up is tomorrow night. so i am excited for that as i am in a fair number of item's for that. I am surposed to get of the computer now, so this is where i will be finish and i hope to post again soon. Oh, yea i just remembered to say, thank-you to al those who voted on mi poll, but the new church has come together now and its name was the most popular vote. It is Riverbend Bible Church! Yay!!
