America

Well I guess I should probably finish this blog. I really slacked off the last month because I realized how soon I was leaving and got super blog lazy. I said goodbye to all of my friends in Mbale on my birthday and came home the next day. It was so hard to say goodbye. When the plane landed in Salt Lake I realized what was happening and almost stayed on the plane. I felt like I was in a dream. I couldn't believe how nice everything was.

I came home to carpet, took my first warm shower, and washed my clothes in a washing machine all while the power was still on. I still feel super awkward around white people and want to hug every black person I see on campus. Its a problem and I'm lucky to have friends to restrain me. I hope that I never forget the things that I saw in Mbale and the friendships that I made. We have so much but often don't take the time to appreciate the important things in life. We don't need a lot to make us happy. I have been so blessed in my life and have a lot of responsibility to give back. I hope that I can go back soon.
