We're back to civilization where there's consistent internet access and American foods! Mama Alice didn't know who I was when I first met her at Kingfisher Safari Resort during the Pool Party. Then I met her again at Siita Nest and she said to me, "I didn't know you at first and wondering who this lady was. Then I saw you on FaceBook and now I know you're the Armstrong Family!" Yes, Mama Alice from Jinja Uganda Africa has a FB Account! I'm going to miss her and her children at Siita Nest.
School started at UH Manoa last Monday, January 7th. I checked my email messages at work and thought to myself, "Back to reality"! Thank goodness I'm not scheduled to lecture until the first week of Feb.
I was able to FB video chat with my family back in Hawaii. Anthony was at basketball practice and Joy was about to do her homework. My husband announced that our bird named Peter had an egg earlier and now there's four eggs in the cage. After losing our baby bird few days ago, God blessed us, mainly Ray with four eggs to incubate and care for after they hatch.
Today some of the Africa Mission Team members had the privilege to visit the Uganda Christian University campus. Moses, Gloria Chapman's son took us on a tour. Then we headed down to the Uganda Hospital to visit Grace and Rebecca. They took us on a tour to the ICU, Pediatric burn unit and Cardio Thoracic Unit. That was quite an experience. We're not allowed to take pictures inside the hospital. All I can say is that it is similar to public hospitals in the Philippines. There were beds and sleeping mats on the floor and everyone is in one big room. We met the charge nurse in the ICU and she reminded Grace and Rebecca that we're not to take pictures.
I have several pictures taken inside the Uganda Christian University. I was delighted to see that UCU has a nursing program and their school bus for the department is in a beautiful purple. It doesn't take much to delight me and that made my day!
