July 19 Monday

What a long couple of days but we finally made it and were in Uganda. We just needed to get our bags and get to the Sophie Hotel. There, some of us stood at the baggage claim waiting and waiting and waiting to see our bags. You guessed it, some of us did not get our bags. There were some wonderful teammates who were really fighting for our bags and working on getting those back to us. At that point , I knew that the men on our team were going to take care of us. It was such a nice feeling despite that our bags were not there and I had to go leave w/out any of those comforts I was looking forward to when I got to the hotel.  When we got to the hotel I found out out that there was only 2 to a room and that I would not be rooming w/ Marge and Sarah.I was already ready to fall apart and then my roommate and I were escorted to our rooms. Our room was not in the main building and it was pitch black outside. I must confess that I was really concerned about my safety. I am a ninny so I don't know if it was just me or not but it truly did not feel right to me. Then my roomie and I went into our room and all I am going to say is that it was nothing that I expected and I had a break down. Poor Emily! She had never met me before and there I am bawling. She was wonderful BTW!! I could not have asked for  a better person to be with. She was so sweet and I felt so comfortable w/ her. We talked and read some scripture together. I was able to settle down and eventually fall asleep.
