Wow the past two weeks have gone by so fast and so much has happened.
We did "run away" to the village to avoid being in Kampala for the elections. We, everyone but David, left on the 12th and did not come back to Kampala till the 21st. There was a lot of talk about war with the elections for president. Thankfully there was nothing that happened, but better to be safe then sorry. We had a great time in the village though and I was able to read a book and just relax. Of course the parents were so good to us and we ate all kinds of good food.
On Tuesday the 22nd David and I began Bible College for the second year. We have changed from the night class to the day class with being pregnant it is easier in the days to attend. There are many new students for the first year, like 100 and that is a great increase. It is different going in the day and will take some adjusting.
On Wednesday was the elections for the Mayor and Local leadership. We had thought that we were getting out of Kampala for the problems of elections, only that there were more problems for the Mayor then the President. There was some rioting because one of the guys contesting for Mayor was caught "stuffing" the ballot boxes. The Electoral Commission had to cancel the Mayor elections here in Kampala till a later time. There is also talk that the government may just chose a Mayor and that will cause even more problems. Guess the election threats are not over yet. Just trying to avoid to be in town much and watching the news to see what will happen.
Kampala King's School is doing great though. We have had a number of new students enroll, but I have not yet got a final count on the numbers. I think that by next week we will be doing that so that we will know where we are standing.
I am going to work on getting pictures posted on facebook today, if I can get the camera from David for a few minutes.
