Story Time!

Cute Kids in a village near by Lugazi.

This is the road that I walk up and down at least 5 times a day.



Uganda is home to many Indians so its no surprise that they have amazing Indian food here! Well I guess I wouldn't know if it was any better anywhere else because this was my first time eating it! It was SO good! It is now my new favorite kind of food for sure.

Please ignore the finger in this photo I just had to put it up! This is Godfrey, the man who saved my life. The story actually happened several weeks ago but I was just able to get a picture with him last Sunday.

One day after church Godfrey was walking with our group to someones house for lunch. We were walking on back roads where there werent very many people. I was at the very front of the line walking with him and talking when suddenly he stopped and said, "Be careful." I looked up and two feet in front of me was a very angry bull with very large horns. In a split second, before I could even think, it lunged forward and at the exact same time Godfrey jumped in front of me and grabbed the bull by its horns. The fight began and I was off. I ran back the other direction towards the rest of the group who had no idea what was going on. I stood panicked peering over someones shoulder to watch the rest of the battle. He was twisting and turning the bulls head and being lifted into the air. Finally he kicked the bull so hard in the side that it gave up the fight and ran away.

I couldnt thank Godfrey enough. I still cant believe he actually fought a bull and won. Amazing! He saved my life.

I couldnt stop laughing the rest of the day.

Update with Pictures

First of all this is to remind all of you that I blog as part of my job with Musana so check it out. It will probably be updated more than this blog. http://musanajewelry.blogspot.com/2011/06/paper-bead-necklaces-on-their-way.html

     This blister arrived day one of my journey and has happily stayed almost 6 weeks until yesterday. We had to amputate the blister because I was afraid there were bugs living inside. Turns out it was normal. (bet you all wanted to know that)

Now for something more cute! Some street children who gather to watch my Musana classes.

And now Rosett, Betty and I! They are learning quickly. I am very proud of them.

Right by our home

A Few of Photos!

Finally I had time to upload some photos of Lugazi. Enjoy!

This is a crowd of children who followed us to Pastor Francis's school.

Musana Update

Here is a post I just put onto the Musana blog. Please follow me here as well to see how my Musana internship is going! http://musanajewelry.blogspot.com/
Hello everyone! It's Abby Evans. This is my first post from here in Lugazi, but a lot has been going on the past month since I have arrived.
The women are doing really well. Each of them are so amazing, and each have such loving and caring spirits about them.
Today we started our first literacy class. Every Wendesday we will have these classes, and then every Monday we will have classes on health.
The women seem to really enjoy learning and when I asked what they wanted to know they said, "Everything!" They are very smart as well. Betty and Rosett have never had any schooling, but are so eagar to learn. We have set up an extra class just for them on Fridays to keep them up to pace.
It's funny because as I stood there in the class watching Betty write her "A" as the rest of the women repeated, "A. ah. A. ah." I suddenly got goosebumps as I thought about how much I already love these women, and how much I want a better life for them. These classes which seem so simple will hopefully bless their lives immensly. I am so grateful for Musana and the help that has been given to them through it, I can only imagine how grateful they are.

We have a big order coming up, and these women have come up with some new designs. The rest of the summer is going to be exciting, and I am really looking forward to it.
