bucket list.


so from the very beginning, before i even stepped foot on african soil, i made myself a bucket list to try and accomplish while living here for four months. i figured i'd post it, since it is pretty meaningful to me as to what i feel i have accomplished here in Uganda. although, a lot of my time here that was most significant to me was making friendships and memories that i will never forget. that i cannot put on a list and check off... 
  •      Learn how to count to ten in an African language
  •          Devotions at sunrise
