K, well, the drive up here to Heaven was nice. Long, but nice.
The house is nice, i live in a house with just my companion. The other four elder, Elder Cheney (on his last transfer) his companion Elder Maumbe(came out with me) , Elder Anderson (his third transfer) he is training Elder Ngqoyiya! (i dare you to try and say that right!!!!) The Frost's also live next door to them.(they are the senior couple missionaries here in Gulu)
Gulu is more like hell then heaven. it is SO HOT here!!!!! im dying! i haven't sweat this bad since... EVER!!! but its fun.
There are 150 recent converts here and about 170 people in the branch! Ya, its fun! everyone i see is a recent convert! try counting how many come to church each week, especially when you are with someone who has only been there for 1 transfer and doesn't know anyone either! its okay though. i think i can handle it. about 97 percent of them are active! its great!
This week there were only 5 baptisms in the branch. that was a low for Gulu. that is just a little taste about how accepting and humble the Acholi people are.
Acholi, that is the tribe up here, its also the language they speak. I was finally getting to the point were i could fluently understand Luganda and was able to communicate with nearly every single Bugandan that i found and i get transferred up here where there is a total different language!!!! Acholi! I'm sure I'll get used to it though. i don't know if you remember about Lira, but people up here talk really really good English! its insane! I love it! i actually feel like im talking to an adult now instead of a child!
Im going to have fun here! i hope i stay for a while!
