Let's not do that again. Ever.

Our time in Sudan is now over, and we have returned to Nakuru by bus. It was an extremely long trip, and we are sooooo grateful that God got us here. We were really wondering sometimes...
The bus from Yei has a report time of 3:00 a.m. and goes all the way to Kampala. So the trip started with nine hours worth of waiting at the bus stop, and a little sleeping on the bus before it left. Then we began a 15 hour ride to Kampala where we stayed the night (a very short night). On our way however, a tire popped while we were on a good road, moving pretty fast. It didn't just pop though, it exploded, and the whole bus filled with nasty back dust and debris. Thankfully, the driver was able to maintain control and we only had to wait a half hour or so to get the spare on. The next morning we woke up bright and early to be at the bus stop at 6:00 where we took another bus that brought us here to Nakuru in 17 hours. On our way we had a problem with the fuel line, and we were stuck on the side of the road for three hours! That bus ride was the worst thing we've had to endure so far on this trip. But again, we are thankful that God brought us back here, and we are happy to be back.
Our time in Yei was nice. Each afternoon we went out with the pastor there to do small group bible studies. Her name is Guna, and she's really cool. We hoped to do more, but the only translators we had to use were some of the older kids and the teachers, all who were in school till 3:00. Especially after lunch, we had little to do till 4:00 when we would go out, so we were pretty bored. We helped where we could with the work they needed done around the place, but there wasn't a whole lot of busy work, more work where you needed to know what you were doing. And if any of you guys know how good I am at building stuff, then you wouldn't want me working anyway. But we helped when we could, we hung out with the kids, and got to share the word. I finished a book called Money, Possessions, and Eternity by Randy Alcorn, and really liked it. I think it's a book every Christian needs to read, so go read it. It is so challenging, and it is so cool.
And so far, no malaria! It can take time before it shows up, but we are hoping it won't. We had some other funky things going on though, but it seems like we are all back to normal again.
With less then a week to go, I have found myself thinking about home more and more. I so look froward to being back.
