Goodbye Uganda!

The sun's reflection is gleaming off lake Victoria as we begin our ascent. It is stunning. Andrew and I say our goodbyes to the country and some of the people who are forever imprinted in our hearts and minds. We think may return someday, sooner rather than later if God enables us to adopt from Uganda (an even bigger dream and prayer of mine now!) But we really don't know what will happen in the next few years. We have a great deal of question marks in our future but we are thankful to know that we have each other and an amazing, loving, gracious father who is teaching and guiding us.

Here are some shots from our final walk through a neighborhood market in Kampala. We will miss this place! 

Matoke! There is so much of this stuff in Uganda! It looks like a banana but it is cooked and mashed into this  chunk of starch that doesn't have much flavor but is used as a base for other sauces.

      

We are going to miss the fresh pineapples, mango, and banana so much! The fruit here is incredible!

Meat hanging for sale

Anyone want chicken for dinner?

Palm trees in the Turners yard 

My name is more popular in other countries than the US. It is a brand for body care producs here and baby's lotion! 

Saying goodbye to the Turners. They were wonderful and helped us learn so much about Uganda and the many needs here
