The State Department has just reminded us (via email) that "in light of the upcoming EURO 2012 final match on July 1, the two-year anniversary of the 7/11 bombings in Kampala, and U.S. Independence Day on July 4... to practice good personal security habits."
Please pray for safety and peace as all these events come to pass.
MOM - everything is fine. This is a basic note they're sending to remind us to be careful, and it's a good reminder that in light of all that's on the calendar next week, we need to pray.
And the Smart Traveler program has an app! Who knew?

Hello Jessica,
ReplyDeletePlease share what you are trying to accomplish in Uganda.
Can't wait to hear from you,
Michele
Hello Michele!
ReplyDeleteThe vision for my ministry is to "teach and disciple those who teach and disciple." Though the specific tasks are a bit undefined, I know I will be working with the discipleship program in the seminary, helping students with their written English, and working with a University-curriculum review committee.
Of course "other duties as assigned" is ever-present, and I hope to be teaching as well. The May semester is half over, so I'm not sure what's on deck for now. I do know that I will have some involvement with the American bachelor's students who come for a semester to study.
Is that helpful?
Blessings to you!
Jessica
