Final Days in Jinja

Okay, I am going to attempt to get all caught up with the remainder of our trip to Uganda in a few posts. We left off with Amani Baby Cottage in Jinja, Uganda. After Amani, we spent a few more days in Jinja. We went to dinner at Pastor Terry and Debbie Nester's house and met their Ugandan son, Emma (Emmanuel), who happens to be living in South Korea! What a small world. We had no connection with Terry and Debbie before we came to Uganda. We found out about their church- Acacia Community Church through someone at Amani who recommended that we attend there. We met Pastor Terry and he told us about his son, Emma, who had bee studying in South Korea for 3 years, but just so happened to be home in Jinja on a break at the same time we were there!So after a full day at Amani, we went to dinner at their home.

This is a picture with Terry (light blue North Carolina shirt) and Emma (Terry's arms are on him) and a team that was visiting from the Uganda Water Project. I'm telling you- we made so many connections while we were there! We want to stay in contact with all the awesome people we met.

The next day, we went horseback riding along the Nile River. After the ride, we went and packed up at the home we were staying at and headed to Kampala for the night.

 

We spent one night in Kampala at a nice hotel that Pastor Kintu told us about. I don't think foreigners really go there much. I think it's more of a place that Ugandans just know about. But if you're in Kampala, you should definitely stay there. It's called Pacify Hotel and it is only 30,000 Shillings for one night which includes breakfast in the morning. 30,000 Shillings which is about  $11 USD.

The next day we headed to Entebbe- our final stop before leaving.
