Uganda

We haven't even been here for a week and yet Entebbe Uganda feels so familiar. I guess that it is typical to feel comfortable in a place that you are so excited to be at. We got to Entebbe late on Friday night June 6th and were able to come straight to our house which was soooooo nice. The house was pretty dirty so we had to do a little cleaning that night so we could feel comfortable. We were able to find our bedding and bathroom stuff in the midst of the bags that we had

brought with us. We are so grateful to have nice bedding and towels with us and are so glad that we were able to fit it in our bags. Being able to have nice clean sheets, bedspread and beautiful towels, shower curtain rugs and

etcetera helps to make things comfortable. Thanks sooooo much to everyone who blessed us with the linens.

We have spent a LOT of time cleaning the last few days and it feels like we still have sooooo much to do to feel like our house is truly clean but it really is an adorable house and we are so grateful to have it as our first home.

We have also spent a good deal of time looking for a car. The driving around here is CRAZY and so although there are public modes of transportation we are going to be investing in getting a car to be able to drive ourselves. Air Serve (The company Travis works for) has been letting us borrow a car until we can purchase one but yesterday they had to use the one we have been driving for something else and so it was the Borra borras (Motor bike taxis) for us. WOW!!! I have to admit that it was pretty fun but when you are on a bike and the cars are flying around each other on the left and the right, without much thought about the bikes, bicycles and pedestrians that are also on the road it is a little

frightening.

I wish I had some really neat stories to tell about what we have seen and done but I would have to say that some of the most interesting moments have been me attempting to cook and bake :). Well, Binkley family I guess that my reputation for being a disaster in the kitchen lives on. Travis got to enjoy some lovely peanut butter should have been cookies that tastes more like bread a few nights ago. We did make some lovely spaghetti together which we have been eating for three days now. Next time we won't make the entire bag of noodles (that part was Travis's idea I knew that that would be WAY TOO MUCH). We did have some monkeys show up at the house which was a neat experience. Apparently they come around pretty often.

Altogether our first almost week has been so much fun and we have been enjoying being here together getting used married life and life in Uganda. We feel like every day we have been growing closer to one another and learning

more about each other. God has been so good to us and has been leading us and we are so excited to get settled in here where he has brought us.

We hope that all of y'all are doing well. We miss you!!!

In Christ,

Travis and Kelsey
