Since going public with the news of my international adventure, the questions and comments have been quite entertaining.  


1) It is Uganda, not Iguana.  One is a country in equatorial Africa.  The other is a reptile.  
2) No, I am not going to bring home a new family member! :)  I AM going as part of a mission team of 12.  For more info, check out Adopt Uganda!
3) Yes, the news is full of scary info, but stick with facts and don't jump to conclusions.  The Republicans primaries are also getting pretty ugly right here...might be good to get away!  
4)  YES!  It will cost a lot of money, but I have faith that everything will work out for funding to pull through so I can do what I need to do! :)


I figured during my countdown, it might be a good idea to share some interesting facts about Uganda.  Hey, you never know when you might be on Jeopardy!

FACT:  Uganda is a safe and friendly land-locked country in East Africa.  It has a well-developed tourist infrastructure with excellent national parks that showcase Uganda's wide variety of wildlife including mountain gorillas, chimpanzees and over 600 species of birds.
